Earwax activates parasympathetic nervous system for first time

I have had massive earwax blocks for my whole life. I sense that my nervous system has stayed in sympathetic high alert. But that it may drop in to parasympathetic mode when the pressure is removed. I have never been able to fully balance or relax my body and only upon learning more about the connection between the inner ear and vestibular system have I realised what may have been going on. Affecting driving, hand-eye coordination and balance. Does this add up?
