Earwax is actually beneficial – it protects the ears from bacteria, viruses and dust, but if it accumulates too much, it can block the ear canal. It feels like you were swimming in a pool and forgot to drain the water from your ears.
Other signs of earwax formation are very unpleasant:
- headache, dizziness
- hearing loss
- impaired coordination
- noise or ringing in the ears
The good news is that getting rid of earwax is easy, but you should never do it alone.
Earwax plugs should be removed by an otolaryngologist (ENT) doctor .
How does this happen?
Painless and quick. The sulfur plug is washed out with an antiseptic solution.
You shouldn't be afraid. You also shouldn't blame yourself for not looking after it, not washing it properly, not cleaning it properly. Children's ears (and also the elderly) are prone to the formation of earwax. How to prevent this - an ENT specialist will definitely advise you during a consultation. By the way, we also "clean" the ears of adults.
If the wax plug only partially blocks the ear canal, people may not even understand what is happening to them and why they feel worse. After the plug is removed, they feel as if a veil has lifted, the stiffness of movements has disappeared, the noise in their head no longer prevents them from sleeping, and their thoughts stop getting confused.
