What Is Ear Wax Buildup?

Ear wax, also known as cerumen, helps protect the ear by trapping dust, debris, and bacteria. Ear wax buildup occurs when too much wax accumulates or becomes impacted in the ear canal, blocking sound and irritating the ear.

Buildup may happen gradually or suddenly.

Symptoms of Ear Wax Buildup

Common symptoms include:

• Decreased or muffled hearing

• Ear fullness or pressure

• Ear discomfort or pain

• Ringing in the ear (tinnitus)

• Dizziness or balance issues

• Itching in the ear canal

Symptoms often improve quickly once the wax is removed.

Causes & Risk Factors

Ear wax buildup may be caused by:

• Using cotton swabs or other objects in the ear

• Narrow or curved ear canals

• Wearing hearing aids or earbuds

• Excessive ear wax production

• Aging, which can harden ear wax

Improper cleaning often worsens the problem.
