The Impact of Earwax When Flying

28 May, 2025

Ear wax pain when flying

As the holiday season approaches we start to look forward to flying away to warm and exotic destinations for that well earned holiday. Flying can be a wonderful experience, but for some, it can also be uncomfortable due to earwax buildup. As the plane ascends and descends, the changes in air pressure can cause discomfort, especially if there's earwax blocking the ear canal.

How Earwax Affects Flying

During a flight, the air pressure inside the cabin changes rapidly. Normally, your ears can adjust to these changes by equalizing the pressure. However, if earwax is blocking the ear canal, this process can be hindered, leading to a buildup of pressure and causing pain or discomfort.

 If earwax is causing a problem during a flight, you may experience:

  • Ear pain or discomfort
  • A feeling of fullness in the ear
  • Muffled hearing or a sensation of blocked ears

Prevention and Solutions

To prevent discomfort, consider having your ears checked and cleaned by our clinician, especially before flying. If you experience any discomfort during a flight, it’s best to seek professional advice to ensure your ear health and start your holiday in the best possible way
