Ear wax is a natural substance that helps to keep your ears clean and protected. However, when too much of it builds up, it can cause discomfort and even affect your hearing. If you’re wondering whether you might have an ear wax blockage, here are three common signs to look out for.
1. Reduced Hearing or Muffled Sounds
One of the clearest signs of an ear wax blockage is a sudden or gradual reduction in hearing. If sounds start to feel muffled or you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves more often, excess ear wax could be the culprit.
Many people mistake this for a more serious hearing problem, but in many cases, a simple ear wax removal treatment can restore clarity almost instantly. At Moor Hearing, we offer professional microsuction ear wax removal, a quick and painless way to clear blockages and improve your hearing.
2. Earache or a Feeling of Fullness
A blocked ear can often feel uncomfortable, like there’s pressure or something stuck inside. This sensation can range from mild discomfort to outright pain, particularly if the wax has hardened or is pressing against the eardrum.
Some people also experience dizziness or balance issues due to the blockage affecting their inner ear. If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, it’s best to get your ears checked to prevent further complications.
3. Ringing, Buzzing, or Whistling in Your Ears (Tinnitus)
Excess ear wax can sometimes lead to temporary tinnitus, where you hear ringing, buzzing, or whistling sounds. While tinnitus can be caused by a variety of factors, a build-up of wax is one of the more common and easily treatable reasons.
By removing the wax, many people find that these unwanted noises disappear or reduce significantly. If you’re experiencing tinnitus-like symptoms, a consultation with Moor Hearing can help determine if ear wax removal is the solution.
