Earwax impaction: Earwax can build up for a variety of reasons,
including excessive ear cleaning, anatomy, regular use of
earplugs or other objects, and build-up of hair in the ear canal.
Symptoms typically present as hearing loss, a feeling of
fullness, itching, dizziness, or vertigo.
Otitis externa: This is when the ear canal becomes inflamed
causing pain or discomfort. Some people may also feel itching,
fullness, or even have trouble hearing. Risk factors include
young age, genetics, seasonal changes, trauma to the ear,
excessive ear cleaning, regular swimming, and foreign bodies.
Ear and sinus barotrauma: Ear damage can occur when there are
pressure differences from inside and outside of the ear.

Does wearing ear plugs disrupt the natural ear cleaning
process?-5-
Jane Jackson might have faked it too far. Desperate to get her
first project greenlit and riled up by pompous cinematographer
and one-time crush Dan Finnegan, she opened her mouth and a big
fat fib fell out. She claimed that Jack Quinlan, hottest popstar
of the moment, has promised to write an original song for the
script. Jack may have been her first kiss - and greatest source
of shame - but Jane hasn't spoken to him in twenty years. Now,
Jane must turn to the last man she'd ever want to owe: Dan
Finnegan. Because Jack is playing a festival in Dan's beach
hometown on Long Island, and Dan has an in. A week in close
quarters with Dan while facing down her past is Jane's idea of
hell, but Dan just might surprise her. While covering up her lie,
can they find something true?
