In the past year or so I've noticed that my ears tend to get blocked with
wax.  I've never had a problem with this until recently  Could someone
tell me:

1) What could cause an increase in earwax buildup/formation

2) What can I do about it?  I know that using q-tips is not recommened,
but using pieces of rolled up tissue paper don't seem to do the trick.
