    Sounds like WD, Shane. And it does affect your hearing. Can get very very irritating. There are some options of relieving it here: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/ear...me-remedy.html This way or that, the more time will be passing, the less troubling it will be becoming.

    Too much wax is common and I don't think it is specific to w/d. I had my ears syringed not long ago. It is a simple and painless procedure. You just have to use something to soften the wax for a few days beforehand. I put olive oil on cotton balls and put them in my ears for a few minutes, morning and night. You can also buy OTC stuff from the chemist.

    I have this exact symptom and it is very deliberating. I am too scared to go syringe my ears out. My symptoms are just too severe at the moment. Will go and do it when i feel better.

    I had this problem before withdrawal, ever since i was a kid, but now in withdrawal its definately much worse and my wax builds up extremely quick. Not sure what its from though

    It will be improving, Needinghelp. Once you feel a tad bit better, you can try syringing, it's really safe. Right now, you could also try some other self-help methods mentioned in the link I posted.

    Hi NH,
    I went to the ENT, with a small machine, ear wax sucked: It does not hurt anything, just make noise, do not bother.
