While earwax typically regulates itself and there is no need for medical intervention, if blockage or impaction occurs, you may choose to seek help from your physician. If you are experiencing partial hearing loss or pain, you may consult your doctor. A professional will be equipped to properly diagnose the condition. In the case of impaction, your doctor may safely remove the earwax through irrigation or manual means.
