Non fit video gamer here. It was fine, had a little lightheadedness, coca tea fixed that. It really wasn't that big of a deal. It was fun to exert and have your breaths not recover you as much as you're used to, but you adapt.

I don't think it's a very patient centric POV to eliminate relief options and stray away from optimizing them because of off chances like that. I think the high incidence rate of people pushing earwax further in using whatever tool is easily available helps prove that all you're doing is encouraging those with high buildup to get desperate.

I think it's more realistic to recommend, provide and optimize tools for self cleaning than pretend that most people are going to visit the doctor every time their ears are built up (which for some people like me is a weekly occurrence at a minimum).

Why aren't curettes recommended? Internationally they're used but here we're anal about pushing multistep solutions that barely work.

No, just buy a set of curettes. The US is the most litigious about this shit, and forgets that a lot of people genetically have ear wax that needs to be tended to very regularly. 6 bucks off Amazon to change your life.

Went shooting a few months ago in KOP. Cycled through 10 guns no problem.
