Usually headphone and earphone usage won't cause wax accumulation or infection. Normal wax inside the canal itself prevents infection of the ear canal. No specific prevention is required. You should avoid using ear buds
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
