What is earwax?
Your ear canal produces a waxy oil called cerumen, commonly known as earwax. It is produced to protect your ear from dust, germs, organisms and foreign objects from entering your ear canal. It also helps to reduce irritation of the skin in the ear from water.
What are the Causes of earwax build-up?
In most people, excess wax finds its way out of the ear canal and gets washed away from the ear opening. However, some people can suffer from ear wax build-up. There are several possible reasons for ear wax build-up, you might have earwax build-up because:
- you just have more wax in your ears – some people produce more wax naturally.
- you have hairy or narrow canals (the tubes that link the eardrum and outer ear)
- of hearing aids, earplugs and other things you put in your ear – these can push the wax further in. This is why earbuds or similar objects are not recommended to be used by ear specialists.
Signs and symptoms of earwax buildup
The signs and symptoms of blocked ears depend on the severity of the ear wax build-up. Generally, you might experience the following symptoms:
- earache
- difficulty hearing
- itchiness
- dizziness
- an ear infection
- sounds such as high-pitched tones coming from inside the ear (tinnitus) It is important to remember the above symptoms could have other causes so it is important that you see your doctor if the symptoms persist or they don't get better with treatment.
