Quick question?

[Mzemma01]

Have anyone heard of ear wax making you dizzy or have headaches???

[Hidden]

Nope, I haven't. I've heard of fluid in your ear making you dizzy and have headaches, but not ear wax. It makes sense that it would.

My understanding is that it can make you dizzy, perhaps the headaches could be caused by the dizziness. An inner ear infection or fluid can cause dizziness and headaches.

[steve274]

Fluid in the ear can effect your balance and cause room spinning dizziness. So excessive ear wax, to the level where it effects the fluid and pressure would have that effect. Also, as someone mentioned, an infection developing can also throw the equilibrium off causing dizziness

In a nutshell yes. Remember the organs of balance are the semi circular canals in the inner ear.

However earwax in itself is natures way of keeping the ear canals clean and clear and normally flows out by itself. Only when the ear canal gets blocked it causes problems. Usually fixed by eardrops from pharmacist (otherwise GP to clear it).

DO NOT try and clear it with a cotton bud etc. it can cause severe damage to the ear!
