Clients often inquire about the surge in earwax production after using hearing aids. These devices can activate the gland in the ear canal, leading to an excessive secretion of earwax. Consequently, many individuals experience an upsurge in earwax accumulation when they start wearing hearing aids, as the body’s natural response to a foreign object in the ear. Remarkably, up to half of hearing aid repairs are attributable to earwax issues. Therefore, incorporating regular ear cleaning into your hearing aid maintenance routine is crucial.
