Having excessive earwax that occludes your hearing is actually one of the most common causes of hearing loss. When wax is moved back toward the eardrum or the ears make more wax than necessary, it can cause a temporarily blockage leading to hearing loss. An interesting fact: stress can increase your ear's ability to produce earwax!
If the earwax buildup is a continuous problem, using a earwax-removal medication like an over the counter Debrox or Murine Ear Wax Removal System might be recommended by your doctor. Use them only as directed because they can irritate the ear canal, eardrum and surrounding skin.
