1. Hearing loss or maybe it's just earwax?

If you have an excessive build-up of earwax, you may experience hearing loss. In many cases, the issue will not be hearing loss related, but simply a build-up of too much earwax. However, being aware of the signs of hearing loss can help you to be proactive in taking steps to improve your hearing.
