How To Treat Excessive Ear Wax, Disturbed Hearing And Mild Headache?
Had ear wax irrigation this morning. Lots of wax in both ears. The world now sounds like a train. Hearing the birds are great, the cars not so much. But with this has come quite a headache. I am assuming it is from the brain being over stimulated by sound it was sheltered from before. How long is it usually for the brain to adjust to the new sound level and sort of be normal with no headache. Thanks

Hi, thank you for posting your query on health care magic.
The problem which you are suffering after removal of wax from the ear is a normal thing and the reason for this which you believe is also correct.
It will take around 1-2 days for the surrounding noise to get normalized.
Hope this answers your question.
Take care
