Ear blockage can be caused by cerumen impaction, foreign bodies in the external ear canal, otitis externa, etc. However, some people may have a large amount of cerumen blockage, which can cause the symptoms mentioned above.
Cerumen, commonly known as “earwax”, can usually be discharged on its own and does not require special cleaning. However, some people may have a large amount of cerumen impaction, which can cause ear blockage, leading to the above mentioned symptoms, and in severe cases, even accompanied by symptoms of hearing loss.
If there is a foreign body entering the ear canal or other factors that may cause the ear to feel blocked, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for examination, and under the guidance of the doctor, depending on the location and nature of the different ways of removing it.
Otitis externa is usually caused by bacterial infection and other factors that lead to infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues of the external auditory canal, due to inflammation and stimulation of purulent secretions, leading to excessive accumulation of secretions, thus causing a foreign body sensation.
There are other reasons for ear blockage, so it is recommended that patients seek medical attention in the hospital to identify the cause of the problem and under the guidance of a professional doctor, to avoid delays in the condition of the patient.
