Why you remove ear wax?

Excessive or impacted earwax can lead to a number of problems, including:

* Hearing loss: Earwax buildup can block the ear canal, preventing sound waves from reaching the eardrum. This can lead to temporary hearing loss, which usually resolves once the earwax is removed.

* Ear pain: Earwax buildup can put pressure on the eardrum, causing pain.

* Tinnitus: Earwax buildup can also cause tinnitus, a ringing, buzzing, or hissing sound in the ears.

* Dizziness: In some cases, earwax buildup can cause dizziness or vertigo.

* Ear infection: Earwax buildup can create a moist environment in the ear canal, which can make it more susceptible to infection.

Here are some signs and symptoms that you may have excessive or impacted earwax:

* Difficulty hearing

* Ear pain

* Tinnitus

* Dizziness

* A feeling of fullness in the ear

* A discharge from the ear

* Itching in the ear

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor or ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to have your ears checked and treated if necessary.

In most cases, earwax removal is a simple and painless procedure that can be done in a doctor's office or clinic. The doctor will use a variety of instruments to remove the earwax, such as a curette, forceps, or suction device. In some cases, the doctor may need to use a microscope to visualize the earwax and remove it more precisely.

Earwax removal is usually not necessary if you are not experiencing any symptoms. However, if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, it is important to see a doctor to have your ears checked and treated if necessary.
