DID YOU KNOW? – EAR WAX FACTS
👂 Ear wax is a good thing
It protects your ears from dust, dirt, and bacteria.
🚫 Cotton buds don’t clean ears
They usually push wax further in, making blockages worse.
🔊 Ear wax can affect hearing
A build-up can cause muffled hearing, ringing (tinnitus), dizziness, or discomfort.
⚠️ Blocked ears aren’t always an infection
Many people with sudden hearing loss simply have ear wax build-up.
🦻 Hearing aids & earbuds increase wax build-up
They stop wax from moving out of the ear naturally.
👵 Wax build-up is more common as we age
Ear wax becomes drier and harder over time.
🧠 Some people make more ear wax than others
Genetics, narrow ear canals, and frequent earphone use all play a role.
💧 Ear drops don’t always solve the problem
Softened wax still needs safe removal if it’s impacted or affecting hearing.
✅ Professional removal is safest
Modern methods like microsuction are quick, gentle, and effective.
