No it's not a Parkinson symtom both my pd dr and hearing dr said no

I think it's genetic. I did a gene test at my local hospital (for BRCCA) and one of the odd things I was told was that I inherited very waxy ears. I know both my parents had that problem.

That's a great question! While Parkinson's disease (PD) can affect many parts of the body, excess ear wax isn't a well-documented or commonly reported symptom directly caused by PD.
However, PD does affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls many automatic body functions — including gland secretions. This *could* Show Full Answer
That's a great question! While Parkinson's disease (PD) can affect many parts of the body, excess ear wax isn't a well-documented or commonly reported symptom directly caused by PD.
However, PD does affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls many automatic body functions — including gland secretions. This *could* theoretically influence wax production, but there isn't strong evidence linking the two directly.
It's worth bringing this up with your neurologist or doctor, as they can:
- Rule out other causes of excess ear wax
- Check if any medications you're taking might be a contributing factor
- Refer you to a specialist if needed
Don't ignore it — blocked ears can affect hearing and balance, which are already areas that need extra attention with Parkinson's.
