Why?

I just produce shitloads of earwax, if I don't get it done my ears fill right up with it and I can't hear properly

Dude, you should be going to see a neurologist aout those symptoms. Ask your GP to refer you

+1 to this. Dizziness and numbness? Time to go to the doctor @Anthony

By any chance do you use a cotton bud to clean your ears? If you don’t, great. If you do, they can impact the wax or even leave behind cotton fibres which can be caught in the wax and can clog up the ear. I noticed a massive difference when I stopped using them.

I used the get it done all the time. The difference in hearing going in and coming out was almost hallucinatory

My ears are so fucked. 20 years ago, got musicians ear plugs, the audiologist had a look in and said "whoa...". I said I didn't want the details just stop it getting worse.
At most recent GP visit, he had a look in and went "whoa.... ear drums aren't usually that colour" !!!

But he said "you can hear me fine, so I'm not going *near* them"

Nope, never have, even though I have been thinking recently maybe I ought to start trying to clean them out somehow, cos I can hear wax moving around in my ears only a few weeks after I get them cleaned

I am really trying to stop sticking my finger in there.

My hearing is fucked from my sinusitus

Neil med sinus rinse dude, has been a big help to me. Once you get used to the experience it's grand.

Making a weird noise when you get up from a chair.

Got a hearing test done a few weeks ago and they told me I had a perforated eardrum. Not sure when/how it happened tbh

Use the round end of a hair pin to pull it out. Once you’re careful it won’t damage the ear and will be surprisingly effective at removing loose wax.

Update. I went the doc with a detailed timeline of symptoms. He sent me a&e to go to the Medical Assessment unit where apart from a lot of waiting around I had a load of tests done. The full MOT so to speak. Blood pressure, bloods etc all perfect. Finally a CT scan which revealed something they weren’t happy with so they wanted an MRI.
Here’s where it gets interesting. The quickest way to get an MRI is as a patient. The doc says “ so I’m going to admit you”. What the hell does that mean, total hospital noob here. Turns out the earliest available mri is Monday morning so it’s a hospital weekend for Anto.
They took some fluid out of my spine today that is going off to be tested.
Between the spline fluid and the MRI they will have all they need to answer all questions.
Stay tuned. Meanwhile I’m listening to Def Leppards first album in the ward.

Eeep, fingers crossed they just find a plectrum that randomly made it’s way in somewhere.

It happens to me over time because apparently my ear canal has an extra curve in it so once the wax gets in there it likes to start building up.

Jaypers @Anthony Hope everything turns out ok

Shit, hope it turns out to be something benign and/or easily treatable.
