Hey, OP, consider sleeping with ear plugs. They're scientifically proven to reduce night time awakenings due to audio disturbances. [1] [1] https://academic.oup.com/sleep/advance-article/doi/10.1093/s...

Don't listen to him– he is a cat burglar, and you being deaf at night helps him steal your cats.

That's the idea

I didn’t refute a link between environmental factors and ear wax production. Nor did I say improving diet isn’t a good thing in general. But changing your diet won’t help with ear wax. And cotton swabs are a bad idea. You seem upset; this is just a discussion on an internet forum. It’s ok for people to have different opinions and share them in a thread :)

You changing YOUR diet may not help your earwax. Changing mine does - and I can reliably show it - and I’m what was asked about. Also, cotton-swabs or a tissue aren’t a bad idea (again, anecdotally for me - what was asked about) unless one has build-up , and/or the ear opening has become smaller as a protective measure, ensuring one rifles the gunk in from the walls, instead of going past it in the center, and then p…

Just because someone has perceived that doing X leads to Y doesn’t mean there’s causation. Easy and common mistake to make though.

Anyway, I’m not trying to convince you of anything. My comment was aimed at other readers; further discussion between us won’t be necessary. Good day! :)

What did you do to fix your earwax buildup?

Leave the environments that stimulated it. Stop eating the foods that stimulate it. I now have visible production on a tissue or cotton swab once a week or fewer.

Cotton swabs were/are the problem. Using them can cause impacted earwax.

It's especially tiring how apparently datacenters were invented last year. Datacenters were fine when you were using them to encode video for the billionth mindless TikTok short, but AI suddenly made them the scourge of the earth?

Most disingenuous or misinformed or both take of the week

I've been using them for decades without issue, FWIW.

You are either a scientific anomaly or a single data point. Or both.

I am also a scientific anomaly. Seems there are a lot of us!
