When ear wax is unable to migrate out, it tends to become impacted in the external ear canal. The information provided in YourHealth is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as personal medical advice or recommendation.

Ear drops may help, but the safer way to remove ear wax is to have it removed professionally by an ear, nose and throat surgeon. YourHealth disclaims all responsibility for any losses, damage or personal injury suffered directly or indirectly from reliance on such information.
