The buildup in the ear?
Both the accumulation of wax to cause mild hearing loss! Anyway, I could having to go to see an ENT doctor, but there are ways people have solved this? Please answer only if this has happened to you or a loved before. I do not want to be like the last guy who asked this question and inflamed after he had heard. But yes, there are solutions for the home? I'm avoiding peroxide and oils for now.
I had, and made matters worse in dealing with a Q-tip it out. This affected the wax, and for a week could not hear anything about that heard. I used oil does not seem to help much, but may have softened up. So frustrated that I finally put a towel on the bed, took my hand with a bowl of hot water, watching television and irrigated the hell out of that a couple of hours with a spritz of those things that you can buy. It took hours, but it worked. Good luck, I feel your pain, lol.
