First I entered a warmly inviting, cozy, outdoor environment. All the ear coning tools were laid out in their proper place in a ritualistic fashion. As I got settled onto the massage table and positioned into a comfortable place with the proper pillows, I was explained the process and slowly introduced one step at a time to this ritual. I was comfortable knowing that every step of the way was carefully and thoughtfully designed.
As the candle was lit, I experienced a sensation of warmth, followed by a whirling sensation. As things progressed, it felt like a mini-tornado was sucking the gunk out of my ear. A wonderful sense of calm relaxation was felt throughout my body. It was very meditative and spiritual.
I didn't like seeing the stuff that came out of my ears, but I definitely recognized the value that this therapy has. After the first session, my hearing was better, however after the third session is was greatly improved. I can see the value in having this done at least several times a year. My hearing was so much improved after the third session, and my headaches, which were secondary to my hearing loss, were gone in the first session. Now it's been several months and my headaches have not returned and my hearing is still a lot better thanks to this wonderful ancient therapy. --Shana N., retired engineer
