Lsc means lateral semicircular canal and it is part of the inner ear which is part of our balance maintaining organ. In cholesteatoma or during MRM surgery there can be erosion of LSC and this will cause a condition known semicircular canal fistula which is probably cause of imbalance in your case. You may need to undergo surgery to patch the defect in the LSC. wax is unlikely to be cause of your problem
