Frequently Asked Questions
You can also experience earwax buildup if your ear feels blocked or full, and your hearing becomes muffled, similar to the sensation of having water trapped in your ear. Other common symptoms may include mild earache or soreness, ringing in the ear (tinnitus), itching inside the ear, dizziness, and reduced hearing in one ear. It is important to avoid using cotton buds, as they can push the wax deeper and worsen the problem.
Several things can appear like ear wax. Common ones consist of dry pores and skin flakes, ear discharge from an contamination, or maybe a small overseas item within the ear (like cotton from earbuds). In a few cases, hardened skin debris also can resemble wax. If there may be ache, awful odor, or fluid leakage, it can be an infection instead of wax.
If excess earwax is not removed, it is able to build up and block the ear canal. This may also cause brief hearing loss, a sense of fullness inside the ear, discomfort, itching, or ringing inside the ears (tinnitus). In some instances, it can additionally increase the danger of an ear infection due to trapped moisture and microorganisms. It's important not to insert cotton buds or other objects into the ear, as this may push the wax further in.
Yes, a hearing test can help assess tinnitus, but it cannot directly detect it. Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing or hissing sounds without an external source, so it is based on what you hear rather than something that can be measured on a machine. However, a standard hearing test (audiometry) can identify any underlying hearing loss, which is commonly linked to tinnitus.
Yes, hearing tests are usually free for people aged 60 and over in the UK. If you contact your GP, you can be referred to NHS audiology services for a free hearing assessment. NHS hearing tests do not cost anything, and if hearing aids are required, they are provided on loan at no charge. Many private hearing centres and high street providers also offer free hearing tests, although any treatment or devices recommended may involve a fee. It’s best to confirm beforehand whether the appointment is NHS or private.
The first signs of hearing loss are often subtle and easy to overlook. Many people notice that conversations sound muffled or unclear, particularly in busy places like restaurants or family gatherings. You might find yourself frequently asking others to repeat themselves or turning up the television or radio louder than usual.
Earwax is natural and helps protect your ears from dust and infection, so it doesn't always need to be removed. However, if it builds up and causes symptoms such as muffled hearing, discomfort, or a blocked feeling, you can try softening drops first. In the UK, olive oil drops or sodium bicarbonate drops are commonly recommended and can be used for a few days to help the wax loosen and come out naturally.
