My husband has a problem with wax build-up, too. We use “Auro” ear drops to help soften the wax, and they’re marvelous.

All you do is put a couple drops in each ear before bed, and then rinse in the morning using warm water and one of those blue bulb syringes for infants. (Just make sure you have a container under the ear to catch everything!) You’ll see the wax come out in chunks. We do this about once a month or so–you can tell whether or not to do it more often by the amount of wax that comes out.

Just thought you might want to try this with Fuller, since it’s pretty non-intrusive and probably less scary than a visit to the doctor’s.

I get a lot of earwax as well, partly due to the hearing aids. At least once a year I’m in the ENT’s office getting them scraped and irrigated too. It’s very uncomfortable. Poor Fuller!

Aww, poor Fuller. I'm glad his hearing is fine. It's cool that I totally know what a tympanogram is. *grin* Jeannettes last blog post..slushing

Yeah, Damon and I had lots of ear infections as kids. Damon more than me and his hearing is affected because of it. He has pressure problems as well. So we take ear problems very seriously.

When I was little, I had terrible ear aches so I know what he is going thru. I still can’t hear real well today because of all the ear troubles that I’ve had. Even as an adult, I had to have tubes in my ear when I was in my late 20s.
