I have stents in my ear drums to let out discharge from the middle ear but it's a two-way street and I have to keep water out of my ears lest it enter the middle ear then pool with intent. In then shower, when I roll my head beneath the pour, I fold over my ears to protect the canal. Today I didn't. I tilted my head and then a seeming fuckton of water poured straight into the middle ear. |
