It’s more common than you might think.
Individuals experiencing stuffiness in their ears and muffled sound come to us believing that they have lost their hearing only to discover that earwax buildup has blocked the passage of sound through the ear canal.
According to the American Family Physician Journal, 5% of healthy adults, 10% of children, and 57% of elderly adults experience earwax impaction caused by an anatomic deformity, an increased number of hairs in the external auditory canal, and physical barriers to natural wax extrusion (e.g., cotton swabs, hearing aids, earplug-type hearing protectors).
Earwax production is natural, but it can build up and block the ear canal, leading to the stuffiness and muffled sounds you’re experiencing. Your most effective safe earwax removal solution for dealing with built-up or impacted earwax is professional earwax removal.
