If your ear is blocked due to a wax build-up, you may experience symptoms such as earache or pain in the ear, difficulty hearing, dizziness or vertigo, itchy ears, ear infections, and tinnitus (when you can hear a high or low-pitched tone coming from inside of the ear). Excessive amounts of ear wax that block the ear canal are caused by:
- Using cotton earbuds to clean the ear; actually pushes wax deeper into the ear canal
- Wearing a hearing aid, earplugs, or in-ear speakers, all of which can interfere with the natural process of wax leave the ear
- Abnormally narrow or small ear canals
- Excess hair in the ear canal
- In older age, the wax produced by the ears is harder and drier
