Risk factors for impacted wax

10/15/2017

0 Comments

 
Did you know, ear wax in the right quantity is actually a good thing. It has anti-bacterial qualities great from keeping microbes out of the ear canal. However, unfortunately too much wax can exacerbate annoying tinnitus, cause a hearing loss, impede hearing aid performance, increase the likelihood of whistling hearing aids and exacerbate some underlying ear-related pathologies like otitis externa. Risk factors for impacted wax include:
  1. advanced age
  2. use of hearing aids
  3. use of cotton buds and hairpins in the ear canal (also a major cause of ear infections and ear drum trauma) – “Don’t put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear!”
  4. use of ear plugs and earphones
  5. narrow, curvy and hairy ear canals
  6. tendency to produce a large amount of ear wax
  7. dusty environments
  8. history of previous ear surgeries
