Anyone try one of those otoscopes / wax removers...

6. I went to my doctor since I was sure I had an ear infection. I was experinecing some hearing

loss in my right ear and after using ear drops experienced a lot of pain. Turns out that the ear
drops were causing the pain and the doctor did a full wax-clearing on both my ears.

Turns out that my using q-tips to clean out my ears only packed the wax in more firmly and I left the session of inserting some special soap then flushing with water much wetter but with my hearing fully restored and all the wax removed.

The doctor showed me how to use some tissue twisted into a point to dry/clean out my ears after I shower and now I let hot water run on each of my ears then dry them using the doctors method when I'm done. I work as much of the tissue paper as I can into each ear then twist it around. I get rid of a lot of wax that way and don't have to depend on any OTC methods.
