Wax: It is a hard ball of wax in the ear sometimes as a result of using q-tips. An ear wax removal kit can be purchased at the pharmacy to help or you may need to see the doctor.

Ear Wax: Some of us have glands that make a waxy substance in our external ear canal. The purpose of this stuff is presently unknown. Too much can act as a plug and cause decreased hearing.There are otc drops that help remove it. If not see your doctor.
