Clogged ears can be very bothersome, especially when you don’t know what the cause of it is. It can be so frustrating trying to figure out why all sounds are muffled in your ears. There are a few different reasons why you have clogged ears, but remember, it’s always important to see your hearing care professional when you are having ear issues.

Earwax is naturally occurring and many people can even experience excessive earwax at times. While earwax can be bothersome, it serves an essential purpose to protect the inner ear from dirt and debris and also helps lubricate the inner ear so it doesn’t become too dry.  When you wear hearing aids, it is common that earwax can become stuck on the different parts of the hearing aid, which can prevent your hearing aid from working correctly. We have put together some tips to help you remove earwax from your hearing aids and without damaging the delicate parts.

If you clean your ears regularly, you may be surprised to find out that it can be dangerous to clean them, especially with cotton swabs or Q-tips™. While many people think that using a cotton swab is perfect for removing excess earwax and debris from their ears, it can actually do more harm than good.

Although many think of it as a mess to be cleaned away, earwax plays a vital role to the health of your ears, and by extension, your hearing. When it comes to keeping your ears moist and preventing dust and debris from getting into your ear canal, ear wax is your best bet.
