Ear wax (cerumen) is a natural substance that protects the ear canal from dust, bacteria, and infections. However, excessive ear wax can accumulate and cause discomfort, reduced hearing, ear fullness, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, or ear pain. Attempting to remove ear wax at home using cotton buds, hairpins, or other objects can push the wax deeper and may even damage the eardrum.
If you are experiencing symptoms of impacted ear wax, consult an ENT Specialist in Thane for safe and effective ear wax removal.

- Hearing loss or muffled hearing
- Ear blockage or fullness
- Ear pain or discomfort

When Should You See an ENT Specialist?
