The berrrr months are upon us! With these cold months come ear problems. 👂🥶
👂Cold air from outdoors, and dry air from heating can cause ear wax to build up quicker. This is protective response by our ears to protect them, but can cause other problems as the air is not circulating in your ear canal. If you wear ear pods or ear coverings a lot you could also have the same ear problems.
👂Seasonal coughs, colds and chest infections can cause ear problems. This can range from swelling and ear infections, or dry skin build up and over producing wax in your ear canal to fluid build-up and infections in the middle ear, (other side of your ear drum). All these can help aggravate tinnitus and give you an unpleasant feeling of fullness, irritation and pain in your ears or around your ears.
