Earwax Blockage

Dreamstime

Earwax is a good thing in moderation, as it is important for trapping dirt and debris to protect the ear canal. It also slows bacteria growth to prevent infections in the ears. However, when wax builds up, it starts to harden, and at this point, it cannot just be easily washed away. As it accumulates, the eardrum can become irritated due to the earwax blockage. Tinnitus is a possible symptom of eardrum irritation. Once the wax is cleared, patients may notice a reduction in the ringing and other abnormal noises, though this is not guaranteed. It depends on several factors, such as how long the excess wax was present and irritating the eardrum.
