That’s actually very interesting…I’m sorry yours are so bad you have to get a doctor to clean them out every so often :/ but I have always had veryyyyy waxy and sometimes really itchy ears (inside) too especially if I don’t q-tip after every shower but never thought of it being hormone related! But maybe it is and I just didn’t know! Can’t say mine are bad enough to go to an ENT but I feel like compared to whatever “normal” is…my ears are definitely pretty heavy with wax…and always seemed like I had more than everyone else I knew? Never connected the dots that it could be hormone related till I read your post tho!
