Is it true that children with hardened earwax are at risk if they don’t clean it out?

Children with hard earwax that is not cleaned up can be harmful, usually there may be interference with hearing development, otitis media and other hazards.
1. Interference with hearing development: Usually children’s hearing does not reach a fully developed level at an early age, and will continue to improve with age. Therefore, when earwax becomes hard and blocks the ear canal and is not cleaned up, it may interfere with the development of children’s hearing.
2. Otitis media: When children’s earwax becomes hard and blocks the ear canal, it is conducive to the reproduction of bacteria in the ear canal, which can easily cause bacterial infection and may lead to otitis media.
It is recommended that children clean their earwax regularly, and if any of the above hazards occur, it is recommended that they seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying their condition.
