Once, after watching a video of a giant earwax plug being removed, I realized I probably had quite a bit stuck in there.
I very gently slid a q-tip into my ear, and all it did was push some earwax to a funny angle in my ear canal. It was quite painful. I went to the doctor and they used pressurized water to get the earwax out.
Unfortunately, they dumped the bin before I could see how much came out.

- bcrosby95 4y agoI had a plugged ear and had to get it cleaned out by a doctor. It was problematic for about 5 years, but I could just push on my ear a bit and hear again. Eventually, that stopped working. When the doctor cleaned it out, a chunk of earwax about the size of a cigarette butt came out.
