The role of this wax is to prevent any damage of this sensitive area, which can occur due to bacteria and other particles or organisms.
However, when it is deposited in larger quantities, it can become irritating and annoying, and it can cause other symptoms like irritation, itching, dizziness, loss of hearing or a feeling that there’s something stuck in the ear.
This happens when the ear canal becomes blocked by earwax. Although this substance is cleaned naturally, we feel the need to clean them periodically and eliminate the excess amounts.
Namely, the use of cotton swabs for cleaning the ear canal in fact has the reverse effect. This practice pushed the earwax deeper into the ear canal, and is starts to accumulate there, and eventually leads to an obstruction.
Furthermore, individuals who often wear earplugs or earbud headphones are more likely to accumulate excessive earwax in the ear canal.
In the case of earwax buildup, one can experience several symptoms, including:
- Earaches
- Diminished hearing
- Dizziness
- Ringing in the ears
- Itching inside the ear canal
- Feeling like your ears are full or plugged up
- Drainage coming from the ear canal
Hence, you need to remember that in order to avoid the consequences of excessive earwax buildup, you need to clean the ears regularly, and thus prevent a blockage. Yet, you should never use Q-tips or other swabs.
Instead, we suggest these effective natural remedies to remove excess earwax:
Hydrogen peroxide
Combine hydrogen peroxide and water in equal amounts. Make sure the hydrogen peroxide is 3% strength. Then, place a few drops in your ear and shake your head gently to let it enter the ear canal. After a few minutes, tilt your head to the opposite side in order to force the liquid to drain out.
Olive oil
This amazing oil is another remarkable natural remedy which initially softens earwax, and then helps its removal. Namely, all you need to do is to put two or three drops of olive oil in the ear at bedtime, and sleep on the opposite side. This treatment should be done for 3 or four nights.
Paraffin oil
Paraffin oil is extremely effective, and one of the safest ways to remove earwax. Being so effective, it is often sold in pharmacies. Heat two to three tablespoons of paraffin oil over a candle flame, and drop a few drops in your ear. Then, try to lie still for several minutes, and rinse it out with some warm water. In order to completely dissolve earwax buildup, repeat this procedure 3 days in a row.
Saline solution
This is another effective way to remove earwax. Soak a cotton ball in the following solution: dissolve one teaspoon of salt (7.5 g) in ½ cup of water (100 ml). Then, let a few drops fall into your ear while you tilt your head to one side. Wait for several minutes for the solution to enter the ear canal and soften the earwax. Then, tilt your head in the opposite direction to force the remaining solution to drain out. You can use a tissue for it.
Vinegar and alcohol solution
In a small bowl, combine equal parts of white vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Soak a cotton ball into the mixture and use it to apply a few drops of the solution to each ear.
Glycerin
This natural product can be found in almost all pharmacies. It is extremely effective in softening and removing wax from the ear. Glycerin is a natural product that helps soften earwax for easy removal. For fastest results, apply four drops in each ear, three times a day.
