Symptom #10: Itchiness
Itchiness is a very uncomfortable sensation that can be dangerous with earwax blockage. This is because it can encourage you to stick something sharp into your ear in an attempt to soothe the feeling and deal with the obstruction. Items such as cotton buds, pens, and safety pins are commonly used and often scratch the surface of the ear canal.
This action can encourage other symptoms like infections. If they dig deep and hard enough, they can also perforate the eardrum, causing even worse problems. Willpower to resist is very important here as you take time to go see a doctor who can treat the problem safely.
