I'm not exaggerating when I say it was THE single most amazing feeling l've ever felt. I literally said to my gf as we were walking out that that little Mexican man had just pleased me in ways you could never even hope to achieve. It was like $400 all said and done. 10/10 experience would recommend

That’s the part they don’t tell you about, it’s painful because it’s like hooking up a vacuum motor to your ear drum. I had this done after having sand in my inner ear from diving and it was the loudest thing I have ever heard.
