A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic ear pain : There are many causes for long term ear pain like infection, ear wax buildup or foreign objects. Cotton swabs or even fingers to "clean" ears can cause more damage. They pack wax, or cause hearing loss by rupturing eardrums. Home methods like ear candles can cause burns. It's recommended that ear wax be left alone unless it's causing pain or hearing loss at which point a doctor should evaluate it
