Oh No! My EARS!

Recently, I felt that my ears were blocked in which I cant hear very clearly especially when I am chewing. Besides, there was a "po-po-po" sound came out from my ears. It was really pek-cek, so yesterday I went to clean my ears. This was the second time I did this treatment. The first time was on 2009 and it was three years ago. So, does it means that I need to clean my ears every three years?! LOL

Dr. S.S.Sreetharan who is Ear Nose Throat Consultant of Hospital Pantai Batu Pahat, told me that we dont need to dig our ears because the earwax will come out on its own. If we use cotton sticks to dig our ears, it will eventually push the earwax more inside. As time passes, it will stay inside the ears, harden and block the ears! But my problem is, I seldom dig my ears with cotton sticks, I dig it when I am sleep. I do not know I am digging it and when I wake up in the morning, I discovered that there is earwax on my fingertips. It sounds disgusting but it is true. I also dont know what to do to stop this bad habit, HELPSSSS!

Even though this was the second time, I still feel nervous. #I HATE TO SEE DOCTOR# At first, Dr Sree used a machine to suck the earwax out from my ears. But it seemed that my earwaxes were too 'stubborn' and they refused to come out. So, Dr. Sree used water to flush it. The whole process took about a few minutes and I only felt a little bit painful. It was ok and I did not cry this time. Hahaha... Dr.Sree also let me saw my earwax that was big in size and black in colour. I wonder how can it stay inside my ears for such long times??? After cleaning, I felt a little bit dizziness but this is normal according to Dr. Sree.  

The upper side is before cleaning. You can see that there are many earwaxes blocks my ears. My left ear was more serious ( RHS from the pic). 

The below one is after treatment. The white sheet is actually my cute eardrum. Hahaha...

It costs a bomb! 

So, now I can hear every single sound very clearly even the flow of water. Dr.Sree also said that this problem is very common and cleaning treatment will really improve our hearing. So, dont shy from seeking professional advice!
