Isn't this just earwax removal?

[–] Skychuck@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It may be caloric reflex testing. That would explain the goggles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caloric_reflex_test

also the eyes moving to one side. First time I have ever read about this, thanks for sharing

I guess this is rinsing an infected ear. The eyes are protected to prevent droplets of possibly infected goo entering them.

Do you have to plug your goggles into an outlet before earwax removal as well?

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

When your brain explodes out your other ear, you don't want to be getting any in your eyes. Also, its not a plug, it just ties them to the table so you don't steal them.

I have a special syringe for this. I had impacted ear wax a few years ago and I went to urgent care to get it rinsed. Turns out my other ear was also impacted, just not as bad. After the rinse, I could hear in 3D. I felt like I shouldn't have been allowed to drive home because it felt like I was on acid it was so overwhelming. On the drive home I heard a crappy Honda with a bad exhaust drive by and I was scream-laughing at how visceral it was.

Now I rinse regularly in the shower and don't get to have free acid trips :(

I had to go get urgent care wax removal after a wax hunk shifted and plugged up my ear painfully. I was at college and had my parents' crappy insurance. I got billed $350. I bought several irrigation devices and an endoscope that plugs into my phone after that. NEVER AGAIN >:(

Congrats on your cool drug-less trip lol

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The ear part is. Whatever is happening to the eyes isn't.

[–] ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep. I have a kit for this in my medicine cabinet.

No goggles, just a windex-sized spray bottle with a plastic needle tip, saline solution, and the shoulder bucket

Idiotectomies required the subject's corporation for the best results. Hanneman's (Journal of Medical Ethics, June 2017) breakthrough, illustrated here, uses bomb glasses to increase compliance. It is rare the fuse needs to be lit, but a lighter should be kept in plain view of the subject as both reminder and enforcement if necessary.

It's an old investigation in the '70 about vertigo, injecting cold water in the ear.

Maybe I should add that is the "not science meme" answer.

I was seeing this as an extraction. Not the insertion

It's irrelevant for the effect if you cut or disolve

That is what I assume they did when they last had to put in a tube in my ear. At least for the numbing agent, even though I'm fairly certain they didn't.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

Squirtology has come a long way. Yes, the old squirt applications such as that of seamen are still just as relevant today as they were on the first squirting event. Now we squirt all sorts of things for fun and profit!
