If you have hearing difficulty inspite of removal of wax then you need to undergo detailed audiological evaluation to identify cause for your hearing loss. Pure tone audiogram is usually required to be done
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
