Should I remove earwax?
Your ears are self-cleaning, so you usually don’t need to do anything to maintain them.
However, if your body produces too much earwax, it can affect your hearing. When this happens, it’s important to have it checked promptly to protect your ear health and prevent further problems
How often should I remove earwax?
There’s no set rule — it varies from person to person. Some people rarely need earwax removal, while others naturally produce more wax at a faster rate.

What happens if earwax is not removed?
