Earwax can accumulate if you have narrow or damaged ear canals, a lot of hair in your ears, a skin condition affecting your scalp or the area around your ear, or inflammation of the ear canal (otitis externa or swimmer’s ear).

For minor ear wax issues, you can try over-the-counter eardrops from a pharmacy. Be aware that your hearing or symptoms might temporarily worsen before improving as the drops soften the wax, allowing it to fall out naturally. Several types of eardrops are available, including those containing sodium bicarbonate, olive oil, or almond oil. However, eardrops aren’t suitable for everyone and can sometimes cause irritation. Avoid them if you have a perforated eardrum. Always consult your pharmacist for the best product and carefully read the accompanying leaflet.
