When u clean ur ears with wax... it may help when ears are wet and when dry you will be pushing more wax inside than pulling out and this wax gets accumulated inside like a ball.... so try solwax and my suggestion is dont try removing it on ur own... visit and ent doctor...as most of the times people injure their canal wall or tympanic membrane while trying self cleaning.. and we never know if it is wax or somethin else and even if it is wax... u will not know what is behind wax, like condition of tympanic membrane

It could be due toaccumulated wax. Use of solvent drops for few days will help in softening the wax. Try cleaning again. If it still troubles then cleaningby local ENT DR by syringing should help inclearing this issue. The other ear could also be checked and cleared at the same time

Health Tips

Should avoid using buds frequently as it may result in blockage and accidental trauma to ear drum or ear canal. Useof solvent drops oncein awhile keeps the self cleaning process active & avoid this situation in life again.
