Do doctors recommend that ears should be checked annually? In a Business Insider video about a procedure for removing excess earwax, the subtitles claim: > Doctors recommend getting your ears checked annually. I've never heard of this before.

From consumer reports (Levine, 2019):

While there are no official evidence-based guidelines on how often to get your hearing checked in adulthood, most medical providers—including audiologists—recommend a screening every three years beginning at age 50, says Sarah Sydlowski, Au.D., Ph.D., audiology director of the Hearing Implant Program at the Cleveland Clinic.

And you might consider being screened every 10 years before that, she adds. (See Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations on hearing screenings for children.)
