Four signs of too much earwax
Feb 18
2012
Can you hear that? No? You might be experiencing earwax blockage.
Here are four signs and symptoms of earwax blockage:
No. 1 Earache
No. 2 Feeling of fullness in the affected ear
No. 3 Ear noise (tinnitus)
No. 4 Decreased hearing in the affected ear
The Mayo Clinic recommends talking to a doctor if you think you are suffering from earwax blockage because removal is most safely done by a doctor.
You may think you can deal with earwax on your own, but there's no way to know if you have excessive earwax without having someone, usually your doctor, look into your ears.
Having signs and symptoms, such as earache or decreased hearing doesn't necessarily mean you have wax buildup. Even if you've had a past problem with earwax, you can't be sure that wax buildup is the cause of your current symptoms. It's possible you have another medical condition involving your ears that may need attention.

That picture is disgusting. Are they trying to drum up business for ear doctors?
