Can earwax build up cause hearing loss and loss of balance.?
Hearing loss yes. Wax impaction does not cause problems with balance although it certainly can cause hearing loss.
Yes. In fact, i saw my father in the office today for hearing loss - nothing more than a wax blockage. Dizziness is not so likely. Either way, an ENT specialist can properly evaluate all thre problems.
