Yes it does and it leads to much more serious problems. Go and get your ears "flushed" out! It doesn't hurt and WOW, how you will hear afterwards.This is not uncommon, so don't be embarrassed.Your body is just making too much wax. You will probably have to have this "flushing" done throughout your life,so get used to it. A wax build-up, left unattended, will cause your "balance" to be off. You could start to stumble,trip,appear clumsy, because your balance is off when you have excessive ear wax. Go get it done to day! and find out how Noise this world really is.. Good Luck...

Earwax (cerumen) is made by glands in the outer part of the ear canal and helps maintain a healthy ear. The purpose of this sticky substance is to act as a shield to prevent dust, dirt and other substances from entering the ear canal. Earwax also helps maintain the ear canal's acid balance and protect the ears from infection. Fresh earwax is soft and yellow while older earwax is brown or black, even resembling blood. The wax may also be dry, appearing white and flaky. Every day or two, earwax may be noticeable at the opening of the ear canal. If left alone, the wax will fall out or may be cleaned safely from the outer ear with a soft washcloth.\n\nSome people's ears produce an excessive amount of earwax or do not self clean very well which causes a build-up of earwax. Hearing aid users must be alert to a build-up of earwax, because the earmold of a hearing aid acts like a dam, preventing the wax from moving out of the ear canal. A major cause of hearing aid problems is earwax plugging the hearing aid. If excess earwax gathers in the ear canal, it acts like an earplug, blocking sound vibrations entering the ear and causing a hearing loss. \n\nAn ear can also get plugged up with earwax when fingers or objects are used to clean the ear canal. The finger or object may push earwax deeper into the ear canal and compact it. The inner portion of the ear canal lacks oil glands, so the compacted earwax is no longer coated with oil and hardens. This may cause a sudden loss of hearing or ear pain. In such situations, a healthcare provider should remove earwax. Removal of an earwax blockage will reverse the hearing loss and pain that it has caused. \n\nNever try to remove earwax yourself with any type of instrument, such as a cotton tipped swab, car key, bobby pin, toothpick or high- pressure water spray. Such tools often cause injury to the ear canal and can perforate the eardrum. They may dislodge the small bones in the middle ear behind the eardrum. They can even damage the inner ear, causing permanent hearing loss. \n\nA healthcare provider can teach you to safely remove earwax buildup. But, it is important to be examined first to be sure it is not a different problem. Because the inner ear is so delicate and can be easily damaged, hardened wax should only be removed by a healthcare provider. They may recommend the use of a wax-removal medication if earwax buildup is a frequent problem. \n\nIf you are concerned about excessive earwax or a change in hearing sensitivity, contact your provider.

You might think i am crazy, but i work at a hospital and we have a lot of people who can not afford medications. we tell them to use one part vinegar, one part peroxide, and one part water. mix and use a eye dropper to put a drop or two in your ear. it will naturally help the ear wax come out of your ear and help dry up any fluid build  up you may have. worth a shot anyways.

the sonic level is below human hearing.

Babies may be able to hear out to 30 or 40kHz.\nA very few adults can as well. Older adults have a hard time hearing anything above 4kHz (there is a small drop in everyone's hearing around 4kHz).\n\nThe 20 to 20kHz thing came about as a "statistical norm" in testing hearing many years ago.

Ears are self-cleaning (just like the eyes or nose). By gravity and body heat, the wax will gradually make it to the opening where you can wipe if off with a washcloth or rinse it away in the shower. That is all you really need to do with earwax.\n\nYou can have too much of a good thing, however. We can't be like the movie character Shrek, who made a nice candle from earwax. If we have a wax impaction, it will cause a significant conductive hearing loss. It will also trap water behind it and cause all kind of annoying "sloshing" sounds. It is only when you have a wax impaction that you can clean out your ears.\n\nA few rules:\n\n   1. Never attempt to clean out an ear that is painful and/or presumed to be infected. To do so could cause additional pain and/or ear damage.\n   2. Second, you don't use Q-tips in the ears. Q-tips do not fit very well and will gradually pack the wax back against your eardrum (just like loading a cannon by tamping down the powder). If you want to use them to clean the ear opening, that's OK, but don't dig around deep in the ear canal.\n   3. Never clean out an ear that has "tubes" or if the eardrum is known to be perforated. This is a big no-no.\n   4. The safest way to clean out a wax impaction is with warm water -- either from your shower (just let a gentle stream hit your ears) or the gentle stream of an ear syringe (you can buy them at the pharmacy). If you use the syringe, remember -- just the warm water goes in the ear. Don't put the syringe in your ear, or you will surely have trouble.\n   5. If you have a history of very dry and hard wax, you may need to use some wax-softening agents prior to the warm-water wash. You can by various brands at the pharmacy.\n   6. Think about getting a home otoscope. Although you can't look in your own ears, you can train someone else to look in yours. Then you will know if the ear is "clean." \n\nSo remember: Earwax = Good; Boogers = Bad.\n\nAnd if you find yourself overloaded with Q-Tips, here are some uses you might not have thought of:\n\n   1. Little barbells for those who do not want to overexert themselves.\n   2. Cannon plungers for your miniature cannon.\n   3. Paint brushes (actually, a very good use). Martha Stewart would be proud.\n   4. Use them for cleaning the gunk between the keys of your computer keyboard or that stuff in your comb.\n   5. Use them as substitute birthday candles for people afraid of fire. (Do not light them!)\n   6. Can be used as toothpicks for people who have wide gaps between their teeth.\n   7. Can become substitute cigarettes for those trying to stop but who still need some oral gratification. (Do not light them!)\n   8. Use them to clean the quills of your pet porcupine.\n   9. Let your kids use them instead of Popsicle sticks when making those attractive picture frames and jewelry boxes for Mother's Day.\n  10. Shoot them out of soda straws at flies and mosquitoes.

I would suggest going to an audiologist.  They have the equipment and knowledge to determine the level of deafness, and might be able to suggest a hearing aid.  I know of someone with 90 percent deafness that has somewhat serviceable hearing by using a hearing aid.

Earplugs. Seriously, they are lifesavers. Get the ones that have 32 decibels of attenuation. You'll never be bothered again.

Try ear candles. You can get these at a health store. Make sure to use a container like an aluminum pie tin, sold at grocery stores, the disposable ones. Just cut out a hole big enough for the candle to fit through as it burns. Also you need another person for lighting the candle. You won't believe how good it feels to get your ears vacuumed out,, and what comes out, yuck.  My sister in law gave me these candles years back and my whole family lines up for it with anticipation once or twice a year. We probably don't do it often enough, though.   It feels great!! And won't damage your ears at all!! You do need two people for this though!

we are from about 70 to 22000 Hz, we have one of the widest hearing ranges. So assume dears are somewhere in there. I think the harder question to answer is what is the sensitvity of their hearing in decibels
