When earwax goes too deep into the ear canal, it can cause a blockage, which may lead to several uncomfortable symptoms. Excessive earwax buildup can cause ear pain, itching, dizziness, ringing, and sometimes hearing loss. Earwax helps protect the ear canal from debris and bacteria. However, when there is excessive production of earwax or when it is not cleaned regularly, it can lead to a blockage. A blockage can cause pressure to build up in the ear, leading to discomfort and, in some cases, pain. If left untreated, the pressure can cause damage to the eardrum and even lead to hearing loss. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect a blockage or if you experience any of these symptoms. A doctor can safely get rid of the excess earwax using special tools and techniques to prevent further complications. Do not try and remove the earwax yourself, as this can push the earwax further inside and cause damage to the ear.
