In 1962, when I was about seven, I noticed that as I moved my head around- to lie down or get up out of bed, for example- I would hear what sounded like a BB rolling inside my left ear. I tested it and I could definitely hear something rolling back and forth. My mom took me to our family doctor and he investigated my ears and said I had a ball of ear wax deep inside my ear. He also said that I had "the tiniest ear canals!" What he did next alarmed me but fixed the problem. He took an instrument that forced a tiny jet of air at high pressure and blew the stream of air into my RIGHT ear. Apparently there is a channel of passageways that goes through the head, and while my mom held me close the jet of air caused this ball of ear wax to pop out of my LEFT ear into the doctor's hand. This hard, dry little ball was about 1/4 inch in diameter. I never had the problem again. I swear to you that this really happened to me. What is peculiar to me is that I have never heard of anyone having this problem but the doctor seemed to know just what to do and had the high pressure air sprayer that did exactly what had to be done and did not harm me at all. Hope this helps.
