Can Eustachian Tube Narrowing Lead To Chronic Ear Wax Buildup?

[drz]

It is possible to be very careful. It is sometimes impossible to resist putting things in the ears to dislodge wax, etc. Just know how far not to go.

It is best not to push the q-tips or any thing else through the ear drum. Or to pull off the cotton inside the ear canal or scratch the skin of ear canal so it gets infected.. Moisture buildup can also lead to infection or fungus in ear canal like swimmers itch so keeping them dry can help prevent those problems. The drops to dry out swimmers ears work good but a milder form of alcohol can also do the job much cheaper. Pure alcohol can irritate the ear canal. There are lots of different kinds of drops that can help reduce itching in ear canal and most are safe to use.
