    You might not notice them, but id say theres a good chance you have wax plugs built up in your ears from using QTips (and inear headphones if you use them).

      Wait, my headphones do this too?? Why is this the first time I’m hearing this? I thought I was being so responsible by not using a q tip on my ears like once a week, but all this time I’ve still been shoving those bluetooth earbuds in on the daily. Sleeping with them sometimes. I feel like an idiot. What else am I doing wrong?

      …Also, what type of headphones do you use, if you don’t mind me asking? :')

        I never really liked the in-ear feel, I also dislike bluetooth, so my go to for moving is Koss PortaPro, these are very open so no real isolation, however. For bluetooth the staple overear is WM1000xm4, though I have no experience.
