"Advising patients with ears blocked by wax to try bulb syringing before irrigation is effective and acceptable, and could significantly reduce the use of NHS resources."
So I feel they are a safe method of self treatment.
Unlike a trip to the doctor, when two to three flushes sorts it out, at home it is a case of maybe 10-20 repetitions depending how bad. But each one is really quick and I find there is no pain as the pressure is very low, unlike the doctor which did quite often hurt.
- an ear bulb syringe
I get blocked ears due to wax and it's really negatively impactful to conversation etc. Plus they would block when flying/swimming which ruined a few holidays. I used to go to my local (UK) GP which was very inconvenient due to appointment timings etc.
Then somebody recommended buying a bulb syringe for self-treatment. Mine cost about £4 and has been totally game changing.
I can sort myself out whenever and wherever I want. If you suffer the same, get yourself one immediately!
You've given good examples of what I am finding myself... your Researchgate link is indeed aeronautical, but is also a software machine learning related paper from 2023. So unfortunately doesn't prove this doesn't come from the modern software usage rather than the other direction.
And when I read the second Wikipedia entry previously I'd hoped to see an attribution... So could very well be correct, just there is no reference to look up.
The ones that related to aerospace seemed to refer to leading edge and trailing edge which doesn't seem to fit the modern meaning?
Fairly pleased with the result, would definitely recommend having a go: https://stickyhat.com/a-6-month-pinhole-camera-exposure/
