Although ear wax is a vital part of the body, helping to remove debris from the ear canal and protecting the inner ear, it can sometimes cause problems. When ear wax builds up and becomes compacted, it can lead to a variety of unpleasant symptoms, from hearing loss and tinnitus to pain in the ear and dizziness.
There are lots of reasons why ear wax can build up and become compacted and cause these types of problems. Certain health conditions, old age and poking things into the ears are all common causes of compacted ear wax.
Sometimes you can treat it at home yourself. Do not poke anything into the ear but use olive oil ear drops as these can loosen the wax and help to get it out on its own. You might have to do this regularly for periods of time to see an effect, depending on how bad the problem is.
The other thing that you can do if you do not have any success with this method, is to go and see a professional like this ear wax removal Moreton in Marsh based specialist www.earwax.co.uk/ear-wax-removal-near-me/moreton-in-marsh/ who will be able to safely remove the ear wax for you.
