Earwax, also known as cerumen, is naturally produced by your ear canal. It serves a crucial role in protecting your ears by trapping dust, bacteria, and other organisms. However, for some, earwax can harden and accumulate, leading to:
Earache
Hearing difficulties
Itchiness
Dizziness
Ear infections
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you could be suffering with earwax buildup. While earwax buildup is a common culprit, persistent symptoms might indicate another condition, so it’s always wise to consult with your doctor if you have concerns.
