This week's object in the ear


I love this job. I can help people and hear stories that they wouldn't tell their best friends some times.
Today I saw a wonderful fellow who thought that he had paper in his ears.
He was good natured enough to giggle with me as I peered into the ear canal and tried to fish out the paper with out puncturing his ear drum. He was a little sheepish telling me his story, but who among us hasn't done some thing like this.
We successfully removed a large chunk of paper from each ear and concluded that the paper cover of a plastic straw is not an effective ear plug for diminishing the sound level while watching Mission Impossible III in the theatre. He gave me permission to pass this lesson to the bloggers. Moral of the story: don't put any thing smaller than your elbow in your ears, and yes that includes Q tips.

So what have you found or placed in an ear lately?

He didn't think he had paper in his ears, he KNEW he had paper in his ears he just didn't want to tell you!

Ehm ... Q tips. But I learned my lession.

But since it kind of hard to clean one's ears with an elbow, how do you recommend doing it?

To Christian:

Ears are self cleaning!
If your ears accumulate wax (a genetic trait and not a hygenic flaw), then there are over the counter ear cleaning kits such as Debrox which include some drops to loosen the wax and allow it to come out on its own. If that doesn't work then your doctor can irrigate the canal.
Q tips by the way just cram in the wax.
To dry your ears, just hold a tissue next to the ear canal and the water will be absorbed by the tissue.
