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.
In normal circumstances, excess wax finds its way out of the canal and into the ear opening naturally and then is washed away. When your glands make more earwax than is necessary, it may get hard and block the ear. When you clean your ears, you can accidentally push the wax deeper, causing a blockage. Wax buildup is a common reason for temporary hearing loss.
