10 Symptoms Of Earwax Build-Up
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #2: Hearing Loss
This normally presents gradually, presumably worsening as the buildup continues. Experiencing a failure in one of your key senses can be frightening, but do not worry, this is just a temporary symptom that is easily corrected once the ear is cleaned out. Again, do not try to use instruments to open up the canal as this can encourage an infection to occur.
This symptom is particularly common amongst those that use hearing aids. These devices block the passage of earwax out of the canal, creating a dam. Sometimes, the hearing loss can seem sudden as soundwaves technically need little space to get to the eardrum. This means that you may notice this complication just as full blockage takes place.
