Can too much ear wax cause hearing loss?
A build-up of wax can cause a slight decline in hearing. If this is the case, the wax can be softened with a few drops of mineral oil and then must be removed by your doctor. However, the production of earwax is a normal function and is nature’s way of cleaning and lubricating the ear. Some people’s ears make more or harder wax and this can be checked and removed, if necessary, during regular medical check-ups. Do not attempt to remove wax with a cotton swab or any sharp instrument.
