Would anyone who reads this go through the symptoms and let me know if they have had these symptoms or if there are any I have missed. Thanks for your help!

The topic of how having your ear/s blocked is one that I find well worth discussing. I have had Depression and Chronic Pain for many years and also my ears have a tendency to get impacted with wax,about every 12 months or so.A while ago I was going through a bad patch and of course my ear got blocked. My Gp was dismissive - told me to just put the softener in and come back in 2 or 3 weeks. I got to the point where I was unable to function and finally insisted that another Gp syringe out my ear. He did and I then left the clinic and sat in the car and cried for 10 mins as the relief was so great. It can literally be "the straw that breaks the camel's back"

You are right Louise. It can provide relief that is hard to describe. And on top of that it is a taboo topic Ear wax is just not cool but that feeling of blockage when it is gone is amazing
