What will happen if I don’t clean my ears?

If you don't clean your ears regularly, you may develop an excessive amount of ear wax. The National Institutes of Health lists pain or itching in the ear, ringing in the ear, and a sense that the ear is full or clogged as signs of too much ear wax (NIH). If you do not clean your ears, you may have odor or discharge from the ear, as well as hearing loss, according to the NIH.

Should I do anything to prevent a buildup of ear wax?

You don't need to do anything to keep ear wax from accumulating. However, if ear wax does build up, you should remove it yourself or get it removed by a medical professional to avoid hearing loss and ear discomfort, according to the National Library of Medicine.

What symptoms can be caused by too much ear wax?

According to the National Library of Medicine, too much ear wax can produce symptoms such as earache, fullness in the ear, tinnitus, and partial hearing loss.

I was really pleased with the care I received today. I came in with what I thought might be an ear infection. Turns out, that was it. Everything was explained clearly as well as the path we would take to resolve the issue. Great job by everyone! I would absolutely recommend this provider.
