Hello Sumit546.

Tinnitus can often flare up after ear wax removal, but it generally settles down again as the ear canal recovers from any inflammation or scraping.

We have information on ear wax removal at tinnitus.org.uk/ear-wax or you can call our helpline on 0800 018 0527

We have a free tinnitus management e-programme as well takeontinnitus.co.uk which you may like to try.

Warmest wishes
