Vertigo can be a sign of excessive earwax accumulation. An excessive accumulation of earwax, especially when it is impacted, can lead to a blocked ear. A blocked ear can affect hearing and it may be painful. When the earwax build-up hardens and blocks the ear canal, it forms a plug, or blockage. An ear that is blocked due to earwax may lead to: Earache.
A blockage of earwax (impaction) occurs when the wax gets pushed deep within the ear canal or fills the width of the canal. The most common cause of earwax blockage is using Q-tips in the ear canal (and other objects such as bobby pins and rolled napkin corners), which pushes the wax deeper into the ear canal.
