A member asked:

Can a wax blockage in your ear cause a high pitched ringing only during loud noises, as well as being sensitive to sounds? ive had a partially blocked ear all day, it got worse when i itched it and pushed more wax in. is this common with blockages?

Yes, medical eval: needed. You may have wax touching your eardrum causing the ringing, or you may have damaged your eardrum when manipulating the wax. Evaluation by a medical professional is advisable. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
