Signs and Symptoms of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can be gradual or sudden depending on the cause. Common symptoms include:
Difficulty understanding conversation, especially in a noisy environment
Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
A sensation of fullness in the ear which could represent impacted ear wax causing a blocked ear
Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ear)
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek professional evaluation to identify the underlying cause.
Blocked Ear & Hearing Loss
A significant number of hearing problems stem from impacted ear wax, which can block sound waves from reaching the eardrum effectively. Common symptoms of wax induced hearing loss include:

Blocked feeling in the ear or ears
Occasional discomfort or itching
