What are the most common reasons for ear wax build up?
Although often it’s just due to natural excess wax production, some of the most common reasons for ear wax build up (and the subsequent blockage it causes) can also include:
- Using cotton buds for ear cleaning (which can push wax deep inside the canal)
- Inserting other objects into your ear canal
- Frequently wearing in-ear headphones
- Wearing a hearing aid
