Right inside to that bit when it opens up at the end - my ear itches. If I put my little finger in I can feel the itch at the end.

I know if I could use a pair of sharp curved tweezers I could scratch that itchy bit and reach a level of ecstasy reserved for the gods.

Can I ask my GP to do this carefully? What if I provide tweezers?

You don't really want to stick anything metal in your ear, but I use these:

Boxes of 10 at my local pharmacy.

They do make reusable metal tools like this, called ear spoons or ear picks.

Oh, those are awesome too... but I can't in good conscience point someone else to a metal tool for their ear. ;)

If they come to it on their own and damage themselves, that aint on me! LOL.

What do the honey fin looking bits do?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Just a different way of clearing wax, harder to clean.
