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.
