can blocked ears last for life?!


Question: Can blocked ears last for life?
please answer!!!PLEASE

Answers:

David Daniels,
The most common cause of blocked ears is wax. Usually caused by using an ear-bud (cotton wool on a stick) to remove wax from the ear, which actually pushes the wax further into the ear canal and it then impacts the tympanic membrane – ear-drum, or causes a solid blockage before it, both of which restrict the hearing. If a mixture of sodium bicarbonate in warm water, instilled into the ear twice a day for 4 days does not liquefy the wax, you would be advised to have your ear examined by medical staff with an auroscope to determine if the cause is wax or not. The old saying of – ‘Don’t put anything smaller than your elbow into your ear’ is good to remember!

no, if they don't clear out on their own (if you're talking about water) then you can go down the doctors.

if youre talking about ear wax the doctors will take it out.



Im pretty sure that they won't otherwise if they did you would either be deaf or have trouble hearing.
