My doctor says that my ears are blocked but i can hear very well. is there a need to remove it?

Your choice.: How much better will you hear without the wax, though? It is up to you, whether you get them cleaned out or not. Avoid Q-tips forever! The only things that you should put in your ear are your elbow or a piano!
