True story - I had a shower last night and foolishly, I stuck a cotton ear bud way too deep into my right ear. Suddenly, I felt deaf there. Slight panic ensues.
I went to the local pharmacy and tried some eardrops. This morning, no improvement, I did an online search on this and decided to visit a hospital, in case some of the cotton from the bud was trapped in my ear.
A doctor peers into the ear using a light and sure enough, some of the cotton bud is stuck inside.
Using tweezers, they took out the cotton and now I am back to normal. Huge sigh of relief. 
From now on, I will only use tissues to clean my ears. |

Maybe he made a typo and it was supposed to be "cotton bug". He might have a boll weevil in his ear. 
PS: Just for schwa: "Hi to your post too."  |
