Ear Wax is an important part of ear health and has many functions.
Ear Wax moisturises your ears preventing dryness and itching. It protects your ears by trapping foreign particles and it helps keep the ears clean. Wax containing trapped particles and debris then moves outwards towards the ear canal opening. This process happens through the skin cells in the ear canal moving outwards as well as jaw movement.
If you insert an object such as a cotton bud into the ear canal, then this cleaning process can become disrupted and ear wax may be pushed further into the ear canal, past the point where the cells of the ear move outwards. This can lead to wax build up and blockages. A build up of wax can also occur if the ear canal is narrow or someones produces a lot of wax.
Ear wax build up can lead to to following symptoms:
- Fullness or blocked sensation
- Tinnitus
- Hearing loss
- Pain or discomfort
- Itching
