Why Is Everything So Complicated?

[Kurgle]

When I started having problems with my ears after having to hold my hands to them to block out loud noises, I knew I had a build up of earwax. After trying to remove it myself, it was worse in my left ear. So I went to the emergency room. Not wanting the doctor to do anything. I decided to do what I did before. I bought what I needed and did the job myself. after a week, success. After reading what some had gone through, I figured it was better to take my chances that I couldn't make it worse. I was afraid that left to someone else who didn't care, they would make it worse. My tinitus is about the same as before.I tried a homeopathic treatment, even though I knew it wouldn't work, and I was right. So now. I have to maintain my ears at least twice a month to prevent the buildup, but I will be extra careful how I do it, not using the ear syringe if I don't have to. It seems tinitus is more complicated then I thought, there's more involved.
