About ear wax removal

Ear wax (cerumen) is normal and protects the ear, and wax that isn't causing symptoms should be left alone. When it builds up and blocks the canal, it can cause muffled hearing, a plugged feeling, ringing, or changes in how a hearing aid works. Wax blockage is one of the most common causes of hearing loss.

Home care and what to avoid

Many blockages respond to softening drops such as mineral oil, baby oil, glycerin, or commercial drops. Don't put cotton swabs, hairpins, or other objects in the ear, since they push wax deeper and can injure the ear. Don't use ear candles, which don't remove wax and can seriously damage the ear canal and eardrum. Don't use drops or irrigation if you have, or might have, a hole in the eardrum or have had ear surgery.

When a clinician should remove it

If home treatment doesn't work, a clinician may flush the ear, use suction, or remove wax with small instruments. ENT specialists advise caution with irrigation for people with diabetes, a weakened immune system, eardrum tubes or perforations, or skin problems in the ear canal. Ear pain, drainage, or bleeding aren't typical wax symptoms and should be checked by a clinician.
