When I was a kid, I had constant ear infections for something like six months straight.
Today, I have almost constant problems with pressure in my right ear - it feels like something weird is stuck behind my ear. I also have large amounts of brown, cruddy earwax that are very annoying. And for a good chunk of the year, my ears refuse to re-pressurize, resulting in very unpleasant and nasty pain.
My hearing is not quite as good as it once was; the fact that I never listen to loud music, attend loud concerts, or have any possible causes for ear damage outside of occasional use of a bandsaw is a bit worrying.
None of my doctors have ever mentioned it - I found out about them only because I found out that one of my favorite webcomic artists (Jeph Jaques of of Questionable Content) had surgery to remove one while reading through the comic archives.
Am I being paranoid, or might this be a problem?
