DO I NEED TO MANAGE EAR WAX?
Managing the presence of ear wax can be a necessary thing when you are looking after your hearing health and wellbeing. If you use hearing aids or regularly put devices like ear plugs or hearables in your ears, you may find yourself more prone to needing to attend to your ear wax. This is because ear wax is designed to make its way out of the ear naturally, but the continual introduction of a device into the ear canal can push the wax that is trying to come out back in, and sometimes further in where it can become trapped and unable to escape on its own. If you are not regularly putting listening devices into your ears, then you may never have a need to worry about ear wax management, but some people will just naturally accumulate more wax than others.
Excessive build-up of ear wax can lead to a temporary blockage of the ear, causing discomfort and hearing loss.
