Though your ears are naturally self-cleaning, most people prefer to help them out by removing excess wax outside the ear canal. As gross as it seems, cerumen (commonly known as earwax) has antibacterial and lubricative properties that protect your ears by filtering out dirt and dust. Motions like chewing help push out dried-up earwax from the outer section. This waxy buildup tends to fall out on its own or get washed away, but if you're frequently bothered by excessive earwax, a reliable ear cleaning tool may a useful addition to your daily routine.  

Symptoms of Clogged Ears

Too much earwax buildup can result in earache, tinnitus (continuous or sporadic ringing or buzzing in the ears) and even temporary hearing loss. If not removed, it can also lead to an ear infection that requires professional medical attention. In rarer cases, your earwax may become impacted, which means the ear canal in one or both ears is entirely plugged. However, there can be numerous causes of ear pain, so consulting a doctor is the best option if symptoms persist. An ENT doctor will be able to examine and drain your ear(s) with small suction or irrigation devices if necessary.

Why Not Just Use Cotton Swabs?

Earwax is produced outside the ear canal, so attempting to clean deep in the ear with a cotton swab or similar object can push wax deeper and cause serious damage. The tip of a cotton swab is too bulky for fine movements, and going too far inside with a pointy object may rupture your ear drum. Instead, consider using the Smart Visual Ear Cleaner to help remove excess earwax.
