i'm 41 and have always had hearing problems.  one of my biggest issues is wax build-up.  my ear Dr claims he's never had a patient with as much wax as me.  i have to go 2-3 times per year to have them cleaned, sometimes it plugs off completely and i'm deaf for a couple days until i can get in.  it fucking sucks. i clean my ears once or twice a week and still get crazy blockage.  my dad has had hearing aids for about 7 years now and i have no doubt i'll be going down that same road sooner than later.  open restaurants and venues are a nightmare, i can't hear shit just nod and play along with whatever someone is saying.

I have a similar problem, although I have only had a bad wax impaction once. 

Do you use ear drops? They really help to dissolve the excess if you use them regularly.

Im a refugee of the arena-rock era and my ole hammer, anvil & stirrups took a major beating from '74 thru '84    😵

To put a deafening book-end to that upbringing,  ole Uncle Ted pummeled my head relentlessly for hours in 2005.  Literally 8' from his PA.   What wa I thinking?  LOL
