Ear wax is normally both natural and healthy, protecting the ear drum and ear canal from damage, including dirt and bacteria buildup. The ear canal is lined with glands and hair follicles producing cerumen, a wax-like oil. The wax then gradually makes its way to the outer ear opening, where it's typically washed out or falls out.
When the earwax itself starts to accumulate, however, problems can occur. You may not even realize that your ear wax has become a problem. It may be your hearing aid provider or hearing specialist's discovery. These professionals may notice a buildup of wax inside your ear canal while administering a hearing test, conducting a physical examination or fitting a hearing device.
