March 04,2021

Earwax is common to see in our lives. Many of us don’t seem to take earwax seriously. But the actually right thing to do is clean it regularly and properly. Let me tell you why we need ear wax.

why do we need ear wax

Firstly, earwax is affecting your hearing.
If wax builds up enough, it can stop sound from reaching your ear-drum. In some cases, your hearing will block and unblock (if there is a little gap around the edge and sound can get past). In this case, do not use cotton buds to try and get it out as you may push the wax down on to your eardrum. If this happens, it is uncomfortable and can be more tricky to remove, pushing wax down may also damage your eardrum.

When you wear hearing aids, a partial wax blockage may affect the way the hearing aids work. They can Block up your hearing aids, or cause your hearing aids to whistle.
