What is earwax impaction?

Earwax build-up occurs due to several reasons. Some people naturally produce more earwax which can lead to a build up. Earwax impaction can also occur from an excessive use of earphones or attempts to remove earwax using cotton buds. Rather than remove the wax, these actions often push the earwax even further in, resulting in a blockage.

Earwax performs an important role in our ears because it prevents debris and germs from entering the inner ear. But when too much is produced, it dries out and leads to a blockage in the ear canal.

Excessive earwax can be uncomfortable and result in a number of conditions including temporary hearing loss, earache, itchiness, dizziness, ringing in the ears (Tinnitus) and even an ear infection.
