Understanding Ear Wax & Ear Pain

Understanding Ear Wax & Ear Pain

Ear wax plays an important role in protecting the ear canal from dust, germs, and irritation. However, when wax builds up excessively, it can block the ear canal and cause discomfort, itching, reduced hearing, or even pain. Ear pain may also occur due to infections, injuries, sinus issues, or pressure changes. At Ananya Clinic, we offer safe and gentle ear wax removal along with complete ear pain evaluation to ensure quick and long-lasting relief.

What Causes Ear Wax Build-Up?

Ear wax can accumulate for various reasons, including:

  • Narrow or curved ear canals

  • Use of earbuds or cotton buds

  • Increased wax production

  • Skin conditions like eczema

  • Age-related dryness

  • Wearing earphones for long hours

When wax becomes hard or impacted, it can block the ear and cause symptoms.

Common Symptoms of Ear Wax Blockage

  • Reduced or muffled hearing

  • Earache or pressure

  • Itching in the ear

  • Ringing sound (tinnitus)

  • Dizziness

  • Discomfort while chewing or talking

Ignoring symptoms may lead to infection or worsening discomfort.

Common Causes of Ear Pain

Ear pain can occur due to multiple factors—not just ear wax. Some common causes include:

Ear Infections
Bacterial or viral infections can cause inflammation, severe pain, or ear discharge.
Sinus & Allergy Issues
Nasal congestion or allergies can create pressure that affects the ears.
Jaw or Dental Problems
Jaw joint (TMJ) issues may cause radiating ear pain.
Throat or Tonsil Infections
Pain from the throat may travel to the ears.
Foreign Objects in the Ear (Children)

Common among young kids and requires careful removal.A detailed evaluation helps identify the exact cause of pain.

When Should You See an ENT Specialist?

Visit a specialist if you experience:

  • Persistent or severe ear pain

  • Reduced hearing

  • Ear blockage feeling

  • Discharge or foul smell from the ear

  • Dizziness or ringing

  • Pain lasting more than 48 hours

  • Pain after using earbuds

Early treatment prevents infection and complications.

How We Diagnose Ear Wax & Ear Pain Issues

At Ananya Clinic, our ENT specialist performs a complete ear evaluation, which may include:

  • Otoscopy (visual examination inside the ear)

  • Checking for inflammation or infection

  • Assessing wax consistency and blockage

  • Identifying infection, injury, or structural issues

This ensures an accurate and safe treatment plan.
