I know now what it is like to be a deaf person and it sucks. It really does. I've got so much gunk in my ears I cannot hear a whit...

Take a really hot shower to get the steam in there, and get water in there, and go at it with Q-Tips when you are out of shower. Yes, actual Q-Tips by Unilever, not those knockoffs made with wood or crappy skimpy cotton.

Will be a world of difference.

Q-tips for ears is amateur hour.

If you're really Serious about cleaning your ears....you should see a medical ear specialist to physically remove the earwax buildup in your ears, professionally.

YouTube 'earwax removal' videos....and you will see the amazing blobs of gunk that are removed.
It looks like a squashed up beetle died inside of your ear a decade ago.

Um, no, only amateurs pay hundreds of dollars to go to an ear specialist to have ear wax removed. It can be done with Q-Tips for a few cents.

And only amateurs would ever let their ear-wax build-up get that bad in the first place that their hearing is impaired. It's stupid and unnecessary. I've been using Q-Tips for decades, and have never had an ear-wax buildup. Why? Because I use Q-Tips.

The reason Q-Tips are shunned by many people is because of all the nonsense from OTHER people who claim you will puncture your eardrum, or "damage" the little hairs in the ear canal that collect debris.

No. Anyone with half a brain knows what pain feels like, and will know if they are anywhere near the eardrum, through pain and sound.

Go ahead. Spend tons of money on a guy who is going to use a Q-Tip in your ear to remove wax after heating it up. DUH!

I wonder if dogs get ear-wax.
This whole earwax thing today got me thinking about Muttley.
I've been to the vet a million times, and I don't think she has ever looked in her ears.
But her hearing is going downhill.
Hmph.
I'll have to look that up.

Absolutely they do. They make medicines for that for dogs, especially dogs with floppy ears like spaniels or hounds. Since they cannot treat themselves, it would behoove you to get your beloved pet an ear check to see if they have the problem. Some dogs will make it known by constantly scratching at their ears "to get in there" or shaking their head.

A healthy dog’s ears should have no smell. If you check your dog’s ears and they smell yeasty or have an odor, this could be a sign of chronic otitis. Chronic otitis is a long-lasting ear infection in dogs, and it can cause itchy, painful, and smelly ears. If left untreated, this disease can lead to the rupturing of the eardrum or narrowing of the ear canal.

What should you do about your dog's earwax?

If your dog’s earwax looks and smells normal, do nothing! Cleaning a healthy ear can damage its self-cleaning abilities and end up doing more harm than good.

However, if you notice anything out of the ordinary, it’s time to consult your vet. Signs of an earwax issue or an ear infection can include:

Excessive earwax build-up
Black, dark brown, or gray earwax discoloration
Discharge
A red, swollen ear
Excessive scratching of the ear(s)
Rubbing the ear(s) on furniture

Well none of the above apply and her ears smell fine. I just checked lol.

I have a good vet, 100 years old.... but she'd have mentioned it.

EDIT: But I will bring it up.
Thanks Stoney!
You're good for something.
Muttley says "Woof".

So your dog is just getting darn old. That's actually a good thing, VZ.

What? (puts earhorn to ear to hear VZ response.)

Ted had a bit of the Covid. I do hope he is A- Ok as well.

Thank you Stoney and Van, it’s been kicking my behind!

You said it. I graduated to the " Wax Museum " The Dr pulled out of my left ear a piece so large he took a photo with a little measuring stick next to it and uploaded to a site he has created- The Wax Museum. At first I was grossed out but after viewing the museum's pics I am not the worst case.
