my 10 yr old I believe has a build up of ear wax, the nurs recently checked his hearing and found he has almost complete loss in his left ear. Do you think this is caused from ear wax? In addition his ear usually smells and we are unable to dunk his head because water gets trapped in his ear.
Hi, Ear wax will not produce complete hearing loss. You should look for other causes of hearing loss. The smell may be due to perforation in the ear Chat Doctor.  If you treat it properly the hearing will improve. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
