Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You need proper examination of your ear.
Ear wax causes decreased hearing and ringing in ear. Your doctor must have examined you and then give his opinion.Rely on him.
Proper examination of ear is not possible without wax removal.
So,clear your wax.There are wax dissolving drops and it can be removed manually after moistening it.
Take Care

Hello there,
Sounds in the ear can be due to a no of causes. It can vary in pitch and loudness. The origin may be in the outer ear/ middle ear/ inner ear. Wax, infections in middle ear, disorders of inner ear, noise , age , certain medications which damage the nerves of the inner ear etc can all produce sounds in the ear. So if it is a simple cause like wax, it can be easily cleaned and the sounds will disappear. Examination and a hearing assessment by an audiologist will expel your doubts and fears.
Thanks and Regards
