Ear wax plays a vital role in ear health. It helps to prevent ear infection and helps with ear cleaning by picking up any dirt or debris that accumulates in the ear canal. Normally this ear wax would fall out of the ear taking any dirt or debris with it.

How to remove ear wax?

Many people use q-tips/cotton buds for ear wax removal at home this is one of the worst things you can put into the ear as this can lead to an increased ear wax buildup or in extreme cases impacted ear wax. The best way to remove ear wax is to let your ears clean themselves and not to put anything smaller than your elbow in your ears!

How do I know if I have an earwax blockage?

If you experience a change in your hearing, discomfort in the ear or jaw or a feeling of fullness in the ear canal you may have an ear wax blockage. Our advice is to speak to your Doctor or local Audiologist who can take a look in your ears and assess whether ear cleaning is needed.

[bethcushway]

Thank you so much for this! It's something I've always wondered but never knew the answer to.

Hi! I love this channel, it's the best ear wax channel on YouTube. My question isn't about audiology it's about a Welsh pronunciation. I live in the southeast US and I named my son Taliesin. He recently listened to his name on Google translate and decided to change the pronunciation. Will you please say "Taliesin" so I can hear how horribly I've been butchering it with my southern twang. If my son is changing it, he might as well get it right. Thank you so much!!

[vickyrobinson]

Thank you. Yes you answered it very well.

Why do some people produce more wax than others? I rarely get wax, my husband could make a full candle every year!

[VictoriaKimball]

So it's basically skin oil and debris?

[hyperfocused]

Great information! Of course there are some people who seem like the hole between their ears goes the way through. ~()~

Thanks for this random info! It's actually helped me realise that I'm not insane. I have a condition called Allodynia and I swore that I could feel water in my ear when there was none. But now I realise I can feel the oil being produced. I am trying not to use cotton buds as it drives me insane.
