Today Joe said, "Mom it feels like there is a ball in my ear. When I shake my head it rolls around."
Mom, "Well did you put something in them?"
Joe, "unpopped popcorn. But the doctor took those out." (story from several years ago).
Mom, "Well let me see."
A flashlight inspection clearly showed a giant wad of earwax. I tried irrigating with no success. So I tried the big no-no which has worked so well on many other occasions. Tweezers. They worked. I was able to just grab the end of the wax blob without touching the ear. A giant blob from each. And a lecture about don't put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow for good measure.
Pictures of the ear wax blob coming to a blog near you.
