I just did some private pole vault lessons for a doctor’s son the other day. He is in the process of inventing an HD camera otoscope and releasing it to market. Basically an endoscope for the ears. He was geeked out on it and asked if he could look in my ears. I told him sure, you might even find some metal in there. I felt a hot piece fall in my ear when I was grinding under the Jeep for the midarm and outboard. Sure as fuck he looks in there and there’s a piece of metal in there.

We rigged up an extractor with a magnet on the end and got it out

All that to say I will be wearing ear protection from now on.
