Types of Dizziness/Vertigo 

1. Peripheral Vertigo – Caused by issues within the inner ear, such as vestibular disorders or infections.

2. Central Vertigo – Linked to neurological conditions affecting the brain or spinal cord.

3. Positional Vertigo – Triggered by specific head movements, such as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).

4. Earwax-Related Dizziness – When excess wax presses against the eardrum or affects ear canal function, disrupting balance signals.

​

Symptoms of Dizziness/Vertigo

• A spinning sensation, even when still

• Lightheadedness or feeling off-balance

• Nausea or vomiting

• Difficulty focusing or disorientation

• A sensation of pressure or fullness in the ear

• Hearing changes or temporary hearing loss

​

Causes of Dizziness/Vertigo

• Inner ear infections or inflammation

• Earwax buildup affecting sound and balance perception

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

• Meniere’s disease (fluid imbalance in the inner ear)

• Sudden changes in ear pressure, such as during air travel

​

How Earwax May Cause This?

Although dizziness and vertigo are commonly linked to the inner ear, impacted earwax in the outer ear canal can sometimes contribute to these sensations. When excessive wax builds up, it can:
 

✔ Block sound from reaching the eardrum, creating imbalance in auditory signals
✔ Press against the eardrum, altering pressure perception
✔ Cause a temporary shift in balance by interfering with normal ear function

​

In some cases, earwax-related vertigo can mimic the symptoms of more serious inner ear conditions, making professional removal essential for relief.
