Waxy build-up in left ear.
Candle potential?
Doubtful.
Partial deafness?
Yes!
Right ear takes brunt of noise.
Schoolchildren. Roadworks.
"Sounds of the Office"
(holepunching – stapling – photocopying)
Gaaaaagghhh!!
Let me hide!
Stick a twig in it?
Release the waxy blighter?
No!
Resist!
Eardrops…
… drip drip drip…
… … cotton wool…
… … … time…Relief… :)
