Earwax

Earwax is completely natural and protects your inner ears from irritation, germs and dust.

Earwax only becomes a problem when there is excessive build up or it becomes stuck in the ear canal. 

 

 

 

Signs and symptoms of excess earwax:

  • Feeling like your ears are blocked and uncomfortable.

  • Trouble hearing, everything might sound muffled.

  • Mild tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears).

  • Vertigo (feeling dizzy or sick).

 

Causes of excess earwax:

  • Use of cotton buds.

  • Naturally high earwax production.

  • Narrow or damaged ear canals.

  • Lots of hair in the ear canals.

  • Inflammation of the ear canal.

  • Frequent use of ear plugs.

  • Hearing aid users.
