NP. Once it gets that impacted, it's really probably best to be done by a professional.
"That impacted"?
Oh honey, are you the sort of person that goes to the ER for a hangnail, too?
Don't get me wrong, when I was in college I would pop over to student health to have them do this for me, but it would literally be a 10 minute diversion. Once I had a bathroom if my own it became much easier and faster to just buy a large bulb syringe at CVS.
Don't be a dick. When I worked in the ER, we removed impacted ear wax all the time. If it's really impacted, it takes way more than a large bulb syringe. Perfectly appropriate to go to urgent care to have this addressed.
There's no reason to think this was impacted to a degree that wouldn't be easily removed with irrigation at home. If irrigation was enough at urgent care, it would have been enough at home.
But congratulations OP, your unwillingness to take even a small step to care for yourself cost everyone else on your group health insurance plan about $300.

As one of several PPs who posted that they had “full ears” and now have hearing loss, you’re a real judgmental a**hole.

It’s so easy not to be an a$$hole, yet that poster can’t even achieve that. Must really suck to be them. Or be related to them. Or know them.
