The body has its own protective mechanisms, and one of these is the ear wax. The skin in the ear produces an oily, waxy substance known as cerumen. This is produced to help protect the ear from the dust and the microorganisms that it is constantly subjected to. What happens is this earwax is naturally removed from the ear as it gets washed away through the ear canal that opens to the outside. However, in some cases, where there is excessive production of wax, it can harden and cause a blockage. ...more

The eustachian tube connects the middle ear with the back of the nose. This causes the sensation of 'blocked ears' aside from the feeling of blocked ears or difficulty hearing, you may also notice other symptoms such as ringing or buzzing in the ears. You should seek medical help for early treatment. We can discuss it further over a call or video meeting to proceed for most appropriate treatment.

Earwax protects your ear canal by trapping dirt and slowing the growth of bacteria. When too much earwax accumulates, it becomes too hard to wash away naturally, causing hearing loss or irritation of the eardrum, which can lead to tinnitus.

Hi, thanks for connecting with me. Earwax can lead to ear infections if a person does not get treatment. Vertigo (dizziness) is also possible if the earwax pushes against the eardrum, or tympanic membrane. This symptom can cause nausea and a sensation of moving even when a person is staying still. You need to discuss it over a call because prevention is always better than cure.
