The excessive production of earwax can have several causes, including any of the following most common reasons: • Ear Perforation — Ear perforation occurs when the eardrum's thin and delicate membrane tissue is damaged. Because of this condition, the wax produced in the middle ear can no longer move or migrate out, resulting in excessive wax buildup. Ear perforation is caused primarily by loud noises, changes in blood pressure, or head and ear injury. • Inner Ear Infection — The risk of inner ear infection is increased by ear perforation. The wax produced in the middle ear aids in the prevention of bacteria entry. However, because of the infection, the wax can no longer remove the bacteria or any other organisms present. Furthermore, this condition may cause pus drainage in the middle ear, resulting in increased wax production and buildup. • Ear Candling — Ear candling is a method of cleaning the ears that uses hollow cones of beeswax or paraffin. This can cause parts of the ear to burn, causing residues to remain inside. As an immediate response to lubricating the damages caused by candling, debris in the ear canal can also increase the rate of wax production. • Ear Blockage — Earwax impaction can occur due to earwax blockage. As a result, the wax may be pushed deeper into the ear canal. The use of Q-tips, cotton swabs and other objects such as bobby pins are some of the most common blockages. Earphones, which prevent the release and cause blockage, can also contribute to the buildup of earwax.
