Can I remove a buildup of earwax at home?

Earwax usually falls out on its own, but if you have a buildup of earwax that is causing problems, you can try to soften it using a few drops of olive oil and letting it fall out over time. 

However, there are many issues that may cause similar symptoms to a buildup of earwax, so it's important to talk to a doctor or pharmacist first to make sure that it’s only earwax causing your symptoms.
