For the past two years I have used the same wax earplugs every night as part of my routine. I hate most noises as I'm autistic but I also can't fall asleep without some sort of show on in the background. My solution has been to put earplugs in lightly and turn the volume of the iPad near my bed up so I can just hear it but not enough to disturb anyone. This has been a great system for two years. Until this morning. I woke up and one of my ears felt funny. I realised what it was when I went to take my earplugs out and realised one had somehow gone down my ear canal. This had happened a few times before so I did my usual methods to try and get it out but nothing was working. When I grabbed my ear camera I realised it had lodged at the end of my ear completely covering my ear drum. Bear in mind it is wax based and so it had practically assimilated to the shape of my ear canal. Despite some attempts to remove it with my numerous tools (I get bad earwax so I have a lot of ear cleaning stuff) I still barely moved it Even after using ear oil and cream it hadn't budged and had actually started to hurt. Eventually my mum insisted on dropping me off at minor injuries so I went. They where having trouble because it was the same colour as my ear drum and very hard to differentiate. When they did try and remove it, it was insanely painful (and I have a high pain threshold) so they had to stop. Now Im on my way home, in a lot of pain, waiting for a call because I need fucking surgery. Safe to say I will be getting different earplugs. TL;DR: I used an earplug and now I need surgery.
