It is a common question we hear in the office. Can earwax really cause hearing problems? ๐
The answer is yes. While earwax is completely normal and helps protect your ear canal from dust and bacteria, having too much of it can become an issue.
A buildup can block sound from traveling properly. This often leads to symptoms like muffled hearing, ear fullness, or ringing in the ears.
If sounds seem dull or your ears feel plugged, avoid reaching for a cotton swab. ๐ซ Using them often pushes wax deeper and makes the problem worse.
Professional ear cleaning is a quick, safe, and effective solution.
