Is it Normal for Childrens Ears to Make More Wax When They Wear Hearing Aids?
Yes, it is normal for children’s ears to make more wax when they wear hearing aids. When a hearing aid is put into an ear, wax glands make more wax because the ear thinks the hearing aid is a foreign body. The ear produces wax to help break down foreign bodies and clean out the ear canal. The same thing happens in the mouth when retainers are put on teeth; the mouth thinks the retainer is a foreign body and makes more saliva to break down the foreign body.
