About Earwax
Ear wax (cerumen) is a waxy substance that ranges in color from brown to red and yellowish. The mix of secretions and dead skin cells does not only lubricate your ear canal, but also protects it from infections, dust, and irritation by water.
Did you know?
Earwax is linked to a person's origins. Dry earwax first appeared in Asia, thus Asian and Native American people are more likely to have dry earwax, while wet earwax is more common among other ethnicities.
Recommendations
Earwax is your ear's way of cleaning itself and does not need to be removed. However, if you still want to clean your ears, never use small sharp objects or ear candles. If earwax prevents you from hearing, see a doctor.
