Half deaf is like half dead

Mama brought me to JMC this morning to consult the ENT specialist as my ear was feeling so uncomfortable and I was like half deaf since last night and only got better this morning. It was a long story about what I did to save my ear from suffering last night but it was a complete torture. I was so scared and immediately told mama to bring me to the doctor when she woke me up in the early morning when I was supposed to send bro to school.

The doc was not at JMC and we decided to make an appointment at RMC at night. Arrived there around 7pm where the doc went out to get coke as we were late. I then filled in my details and went into the consultation room.

Told the doc about what happened and how it felt like, he smiled at me and started scanning my ears by inserting a long thin stick. Idk what that was but it looked like a thick microfiber to me (ok, Wilson told me that it shud be an "otoscope") and it had light on its tip. It was so cool. He first inserted to my right ear which I claimed to be ok, it was clean and I could even see my cutie eardrum for the first time! It was clean as I cleaned it last night with cotton buds when I was trying to rescue my suffering ear. Then it was my left ear's turn. I was shocked. I was shocked because what I saw was a big black clump of earwax stuck in the inner side of the hole. It was really gross and kinda awkward but he's a doctor anyway.

Obviously the big clump of earwax was the reason of the pain after I used cotton buds last night to "clean" it which I actually made it go deeper than where it shud be. And I guess that few times I used cotton buds back in Miri to "clean" my ears had already caused the earwax to stuck in the hole. Only that last night I finally pushed them altogether that they became a big black ball blocking my ear canal. Ok gross enough I know. So he took it out for me and I was so paiseh cos imagine you need a doctor to clean your earwax for you but yah I couldn't take it out myself already as it went too deep inside. And the feeling of satisfaction when you saw a big piece of shit was out from your ear, shuang ah! I could then see my cutie eardrum again.

Now I regret not taking pic of my earwax. Ok I'm just kidding I would not post it of cos even if I did.

Doctor said no cotton buds are allowed anymore and we shud only clean our outer ears as the earwax will come out itself when they are "mature" enough. It was a super cool experience though despite all the pain that you felt like your ear was gonna explode so soon.
