10 Symptoms Of Earwax Build-Up
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #4: Dizziness
Particularly common amongst older sufferers, dizziness is a common sign of earwax buildup. The blockage often induces a feeling of vertigo, whereby you may feel like the room is spinning or that you are unbalanced. This problem is immediately alleviated when the earwax is removed.
This sensation of being unbalanced can be particularly stressful to elderly people, as it is often accompanied by hearing loss. They feel unable to get up and walk around properly and it can exacerbate other conditions like dementia. It is important for regular ear checks to be performed, especially if you make use of hearing aids.
