Question: what does it mean when you have a lot of wax in your ears?
Answer: Causes of earwax buildup Some people are prone to produce too much earwax. Still, excess wax doesn't automatically lead to blockage. In fact, the most common cause of earwax blockage is at-home removal. Using cotton swabs, bobby pins, or other objects in your ear canal can also push wax deeper, creating a blockage.
