I have a special syringe for this. I had impacted ear wax a few years ago and I went to urgent care to get it rinsed. Turns out my other ear was also impacted, just not as bad. After the rinse, I could hear in 3D. I felt like I shouldn’t have been allowed to drive home because it felt like I was on acid it was so overwhelming. On the drive home I heard a crappy Honda with a bad exhaust drive by and I was scream-laughing at how visceral it was.
Now I rinse regularly in the shower and don’t get to have free acid trips :(
I had to go get urgent care wax removal after a wax hunk shifted and plugged up my ear painfully. I was at college and had my parents’ crappy insurance. I got billed $350. I bought several irrigation devices and an endoscope that plugs into my phone after that. NEVER AGAIN >:(
When your brain explodes out your other ear, you don’t want to be getting any in your eyes. Also, its not a plug, it just ties them to the table so you don’t steal them.
Isn’t this just earwax removal?

Congrats on your cool drug-less trip lol
It may be caloric reflex testing. That would explain the goggles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caloric_reflex_test
also the eyes moving to one side. First time I have ever read about this, thanks for sharing
I guess this is rinsing an infected ear. The eyes are protected to prevent droplets of possibly infected goo entering them.
Do you have to plug your goggles into an outlet before earwax removal as well?

The ear part is. Whatever is happening to the eyes isn’t.
Yep. I have a kit for this in my medicine cabinet.
With goggles and all?
No goggles, just a windex-sized spray bottle with a plastic needle tip, saline solution, and the shoulder bucket
