Ear wax (cerumen) is a natural substance that your ears make to keep themselves clean and protected. It helps trap dust, dirt and germs, and usually works its way out of the ear on its own
This can occur due to narrow canals, overproduction of wax, aging, wearing hearing aids or ear plugs. It can also build up with cotton bud use which pushes wax deeper into the ear canal
Reduced or muffled hearing
Discomfort or earache
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
Dizziness
A feeling or pressure or fullness in the ear
Itchy ears

* Irrigation – a controlled pressure of warm water to flush the wax from your ear
