A member asked:
How do i know whether i've too much ear wax without going to a doc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Someone has to look: Unless a person is very good at cleaning wax from her ears (we doctors do not recommend such activities), she won't be able to tell how much wax is inside. That means somebody else has to look into the ear.
