....how often do you CLEAN your ears??? .....with Q tips .....with additives. Notice a difference????

...not saying we are all audiophiles.....just want to know bare minimum standard.

...take test on net for balance of hearing???? Any good sites appreciated. With AGE , the upper end seems to fade , in one ear or the other.

    big difference, I use the stuff in a bottle. Forget the name of it at the moment. Comes with a suction bulb too. I do this weekly myself and do it at the clinic every 3 months or so.

    I went to the ear doc a couple weeks back and he pulled a hunk of blue lint about half the size of a raisin out of my right ear. I speculate that it came from the earplugs I wear while motorcycling that I stick in my jeans pocket. Point is, it's probably a good idea to have the doc look in there every once in awhile for you.

    I use MFSL Super Ear Wax cleaner. It's specially formulated to prevent distortion of sound in the inner ear.
