❓ What Causes Ear Wax Build‑Up?

Ear wax is a normal and protective substance produced by the body. In most people it clears naturally, but sometimes it can build up and cause symptoms.

👉 Read NHS guidance on earwax build‑up

Common symptoms include:

🔇 Reduced or muffled hearing

👂 A blocked or full sensation
