Crystallized Wax In Ear, Feeling Of Wax Going Down The Canal. How Can I Avoid This?

Hi I am 47 years old and have always had great hearing but this the second time in the past 5 years that it appears I have possibly crystalized wax in my ear. The last time it happened I used wax remover and it cleared up, this time it feels as though it is welding itself to my ear and going down into my ear canal . What can I do to get rid of this before I go deaf?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having impacted ear wax giving rise to this problem.
Put some wax dissolving drops for few days and after wax becomes loose go for removal gently.
If it does not work , consult ENT and get syringing done.
After your ear canal becomes clear, you will get your clear hearing.
Ok and take care.
