How to identify an ear wax blockage?
A normal dose of sulfur is essential for the ear, as it protects the ear canal from dirt and bacteria. However, sometimes an excessive amount of sulfur is formed or the mass becomes so hard that it becomes impossible to wash it out of the ear canal naturally.
It is advisable to be familiar with the symptoms characteristic of sulfur blockage and consult a doctor in time. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the otolaryngologist will perform a sulfur washing procedure.
During sulfur congestion, the patient suffers from the following symptoms:
- Feeling of a kind of fullness in the ear;
- Ear pain;
- Hearing loss (the condition worsens over time);
- Noise in the ears;
- Sensation of itching in the ear canal;
- Discharge from the ear;
- Dizziness.
