Why is ear wax such a problem?
When the wax within the ear causes a blockage, it can cause discomfort and pain in the ear along with hearing impairment and in some cases even dizziness. It can cause even more problems for those who use hearing aids as the build-up of wax can even block their ear piece due to the way that their hearing aid blocks the wax from exiting the ear canal naturally.
Whether you have an existing hearing impairment or not, regular removal of wax is extremely important as blocked ears aren’t a nice thing for anyone. Home methods of wax removal such as syringing and irrigation require the use of drops and oils for a number of weeks before the wax is able to be removed which in a lot of cases makes the hearing loss and discomfort worse that it already was, but with professional ear irrigation treatments this is not something that needs to be feared.
