It's embarrassing to go through...
Especially since I'm in high school, and the wax discharges out my ear at any time of day; anytime when I'm in a public setting.
It's odd... I've looked up tips on Google that could help, I've been to the ENT twice (the first time he irrigated my ears; the second he told me to put cotton balls in my ears, "and if people ask, tell them you have an ear infection."), I've asked a few questions about this on Yahoo Answers and other forums....
It started this past 25 April... I don't know if this helps know what triggered it, but a guy made repeated attempts to fight me, and I considered it mental abuse although I tried ignoring him during class but couldn't.
I've spent the entire summer looking up treatments for my wax issue. No one so far has been able to fix this.
I've tried hydrogen peroxide dabbed on a Q-Tip--that got rid of the wax until the 8 September.. I've also used baby oil (my ENT's secretary recommended it), rubbing alcohol--I dabbed those as well; separately of course.
Nothing works.
I used to use huge cotton balls, and kids would see wax and whisper.
It was just this morning that my mom said to use extremely small sized balls. Didn't work either because the kids whispered.
I even (yesterday) asked both my Spanish teacher AND my guidance counselor if they saw any wax in my ears--and they both said no--yet, when I got back to class, kids whispered again.
I've had this problem for 5 months.
What can I do to fix this?
