Ear Irrigation
Ear wax? Diminished hearing? Earwax impaction is when earwax builds up enough to cause symptoms. Normally, earwax helps to protect the insides of the ears and prevents injury or infection. But having too much earwax can cause symptoms such as pain and trouble hearing. Young children and older adults are more likely than others to have earwax impaction.
