I have an itching deep within my ear.
I fantasise about having a long spike to clear my ear and restore my hearing.
Mum and I had a conversation the other day and it turns out that what I half- remember is basically true. They stuck something long and thin in my ear because I had hard impacted wax. Later it would be removed by having my ears syringed. Now it's done by suction.
On every occasion it was an extraordinary sensation, and opened up a whole world of hearing to me.
But any time I have a cold, or am coming down with one (the battering my immune system gets from 30 4-5 year olds!) I always invisage a long spindly thing, spearing and lifting out chunks of wax.
Maybe that's why I never developed a fear of needles.
