That's not my problem. Only once in the last five years have I had enough wax buildup to have any doctor clean my outer ear. My problem is on the inside of the ear drum. I've had scopes up my nose (what do they call that procedure?), ABR tests, balance testing (worse than any roller coaster), etc.

So my original point still stands. I wish they could suck the garbage out of the eustachian tubes.

For the person that commented on the jaw alignment, I would believe it. I suffer from TMJ, unfortunately, and if I purposely shift my jaw, the stereo image shifts. The difference between TMJ and hearing is that health insurance will cover your ears. You have got to have some good doctors and a little luck to get anything involved with TMJ covered.
