Must be a clinic near you
Doc told me that rather than use them for the 4 or 5 days it recommends, use them for 3 weeks or so. And hold your nose and blow your cheeks out to 'pop' your ears (not taking the Mick).
Definitely helped with my ears.......
Lay in a hot bath for 5 mins with your ears under the water then use this syringe, works every time for me
I think you're right, tried them before but not long enough use and they don't do any harm do they.
Like Use them more and let the wax clear naturally on its own.
I know you're not taking the muck
Just got to watch don't pass out when doing that trick as it makes me go a bit dizzy if I do it too hard lol.
The Boots in the city used to do it I believe.

i would say thinking you need less excercise, not more,is a very slippery slope
Hmmm theres an optimum i suppose but we arent 20 to 30 yr olds any lomger are we .i would say thinking you need less excercise, not more,is a very slippery slope
atv Bike use in the last 20 yrs has made a big difference mind you, not made me fat either like some i see....
fat sheep farmer ??,
arable farmer maybe sitting on that seat....
Doing a different exercise is good rather than just using the same muscles, swimming is great but I'm a useless swimmer but do like riding my bike but don't do it often enough.i would say thinking you need less excercise, not more,is a very slippery slope
I think the bad weather is the main reason we are all fed up
No bike riding here, plenty of exercise mind, amongst other things just this avo done the weekly village greens 3 hours of walk behind ( a fast one too prob about 7kmh like that competition walking that they do ) lawn mowing , how bout that ? productive and useful too i get paid , not quite enough but its something for the community i guess.
makes a joke of lard arses that can be seen on rideons lol.
only thing is should wear ear defenders i suppose because the tinnitus doesnt get any better.

Good cardio. Also because you are pushing a lawn mower I guess it is technically weight-bearing. Definitely wear ear defenders (any lengthy exposure to noises above 85dB is potentially harmful to hearing) and choose a breezy day to blow the fumes from the engine away.
Keep toying with the idea of a ride on but it would be a problem to house it and I quite like lawn mowing.
the bits i do are at different locations so loading and unloading has to be a part of it and a narrower one would still be needed to get in around bollards graves etc and up and down the awkward banks push pull /up and down so not much advantage really , still needs a strimmer on it as well and chainsaw work consists of other jobs id do a fair bit too,plus a bit of climbing the clearing up of branches/spray etc. all as you say cardio type workout.Good cardio.

Couple that with this time of year hogs needing bellying as well as dagging then going for a run after would be a bit daft to put it mildly .
some people to think that modern farming is all machinery driving or sitting in an office, well i suppose it is for some and yes a lot less physical than it ever was for most.

Same here, C19 has buggered me, did half the dog walks and 3 load with the sprayer and I was spent, had food and a sleep and just back in from putting the dogs to bed.
struggle to do half of the hours I did pre C19 getting me
It’s mental torture and can’t see a way forward at the moment.
Must be well over a year since I has C19 last, I don't believe I ever fully recovered from it. My legs are screaming at me walking the farm and I've poor energy levels to the point of not being able to walk the farm properly during times of increased work load, like now while lambing, which isn't great.
I know I don't sleep properly, there's probably a bit more I could do about that but I'd end up exchanging the little free time I have for sleep. Stress levels are YUGE! but that's normal.
I've started eating the foods of the ketogenic diet, which has shown huge benefits for mental health and energy which is what I'm after. However I'm not pursuing ketosis yet as I'm frankly too busy. I can say my gut issues have GONE, a skin issue is greatly improved, and I've gone several belt notches in the right direction over maybe three months. I avoid sugar and processed foods like the f'kn plague now.
Pilates will be my next stop because I don't just feel old mentally but physically too, and I don't believe I should, yet, at 46!
You may be going through the male menopause.https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/male-menopause/
Health A to Z
The 'male menopause'
Some men develop depression, loss of sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and other physical and emotional symptoms when they reach their late 40s to early 50s.
Other symptoms common in men this age are:
mood swings and irritability
loss of muscle mass and reduced ability to exercise
fat redistribution, such as developing a large belly or "man boobs" (gynaecomastia)
a general lack of enthusiasm or energy
difficulty sleeping (insomnia) or increased tiredness
poor concentration and short-term memory
These symptoms can interfere with everyday life and happiness, so it's important to find the underlying cause and work out what can be done to resolve it.
Is there such a thing as a "male menopause"?
The "male menopause" (sometimes called the andropause) is an unhelpful term sometimes used in the media.
This label is misleading because it suggests the symptoms are the result of a sudden drop in testosterone in middle age, similar to what occurs in the female menopause. This is not true.
Although testosterone levels fall as men age, the decline is steady at about 1% a year from around the age of 30 to 40, and this is unlikely to cause any problems in itself.
A testosterone deficiency that develops later in life, also known as late-onset hypogonadism, can sometimes be responsible for these symptoms, but in many cases the symptoms are nothing to do with hormones.
Personal or lifestyle issues
Lifestyle factors or psychological problems can also be responsible for many of these symptoms.
For example, erectile dysfunction, low sex drive and mood swings may be the result of:
stress
depression
anxiety
There are also physical causes of erectile dysfunction, such as smoking or heart problems, which may happen alongside any psychological cause.
Psychological problems are typically brought on by work or relationship issues, money problems or worrying about ageing parents.
A "midlife crisis" can also be responsible. This can happen when men think they have reached life's halfway stage.
Anxieties over what they have accomplished so far, either in their job or personal life, can lead to a period of depression.
Other possible causes of the "male menopause" include:
lack of sleep
a poor diet
lack of exercise
drinking too much alcohol
smoking
low self-esteem
Late-onset hypogonadism
In some cases, where lifestyle or psychological problems do not seem to be responsible, the symptoms of the "male menopause" may be the result of hypogonadism, where the testes produce few or no hormones.
Hypogonadism is sometimes present from birth, which can cause symptoms like delayed puberty and small testes.
Hypogonadism can also occasionally develop later in life, particularly in men who are obese or have type 2 diabetes.
This is known as late-onset hypogonadism and can cause the "male menopause" symptoms.
But this is an uncommon and specific medical condition that's not a normal part of ageing.
A diagnosis of late-onset hypogonadism can usually be made based on your symptoms and the results of blood tests used to measure your testosterone levels.
What to do
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, see your GP. They'll ask about your work and personal life to see if your symptoms may be caused by a mental health issue, such as stress or anxiety.
If stress or anxiety are affecting you, you may benefit from medication or a talking therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
Exercise and relaxation can also help.
Read about:
stress management
treating anxiety
help for low mood and depression
exercise for depression
breathing exercises for stress
Do I need hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
Your GP may also order a blood test to measure your testosterone levels.
If the results suggest you have a testosterone deficiency, you may be referred to an endocrinologist, a specialist in hormone problems.
If the specialist confirms this diagnosis, you may be offered testosterone replacement to correct the hormone deficiency, which should relieve your symptoms.
This treatment may be given as an injection or a gel.

My mother had an early development of white noise generating aid to wear for her tinnitus. They're much more sophisticated nowadays.
