Ears

I have the worst ears. I don't know why, I just do. I always joke that I could go deaf from the amount of wax. Gross, yes, but it's true. About a month ago, while walking in Henry's, possibly the greatest market in the world, we spotted this.

Our Psych teacher had literally just been talking about them in class the night before, so I just figured, why not. We got them. I hate the liquids you have to put in your ears, so cones, they seemed like they would be fine.

Yep, there are the cones. You stick them in your ear. Seemed a little daunting to me. That towel, yeah.. that towel we had to cut a hole into, in which my ear would be placed.. with an extra thing of water next to my ear as a precautionary... Because well, those cones are to be lit on fire. My precious ear, with one of the cones in it, and then a flame. You can see why my face looks the way it does.

And there is the whole thing in action. There is the flame.. with my eyes darting sideways hoping it wasn't getting too close. Funny thing is, is that when you look at something sideways it just seems much closer than it really is. Laying there for however long I laid there was extremely stressful. I hate ear wax, but I don't hate it enough to risk losing my hair.

Stressful. Look at that poor soul.

The flame got much much closer too. You have to keep blowing it out and cutting the top off and the tube gets smaller and smaller.

 This would also be the point where I show the pictures Rob took of the wax in the convenient, hope your hair doesn't burn, water bowl. Its gross. Just trust me. So I left those out.

Now, there is a running debate in the home as to if this thing even worked. I can attest to you that I fully believe it did. I also know that sometimes we can fake ourselves out, and I get that, it is just hard for me to believe that I faked the fact that it honestly improved my hearing. And I honestly believe it improved my hearing. I know Rob would agree with that too.

So go pick a pack up. I don't know if you all have a Henry's near-by, but you are bound to have these in your area. Pick one up and let's keep the debate running on whether these things work or not. I say yes.
