Earwax Removal Experts In Lubbock & Snyder
Are you struggling to hear sounds that you used to hear easily? Do your ears feel blocked, or stopped up? It’s very possible that you simply have wax buildup.
What Is Earwax?
Earwax, also known as cerumen, is made in the outer ear canal.
It is formed by the secretions made by special glands in your ears, which, when combined with dead skin cells, forms earwax. The earwax then travels through the outer ear canal to the entrance of the canal and over time breaks up as it makes its way through the canal.
What Causes An Earwax Buildup
There are many reasons behind an earwax buildup, but one of the most common reasons is due to people dangerously cleaning their ears.
Items such as bobby pins or Q-tips can further push the earwax into your ears, making it even harder to extract. People with small ear canals have an increased risk of wax buildup as well.
Also, if you wear hearing aids, your ears are likely to get full of wax without regular cleaning. Wax typically works its way out of the ear on its own, but when a hearing aid is blocking the ear canal, there’s nowhere for it to go!
Your ears are very delicate, so you must be very careful when you are cleaning your ears.
Other conditions, such as eczema or infectious diseases, can cause your ears to produce more earwax than normal.
