WHERE DOES EAR WAX COME FROM? #shorts

We can also use other tools to remove hard ear wax, foreign bodies, peeling dead skin or for ear infection removal.

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.

I made my 10 year old daughter watch that!!! She found it "interesting but icky."

This is the one I have been waiting for! THANK YOU, RHYS!!!

I think the next one should be about the hammer, anvil and stirrup bones.

Can we have a short on the valley in the canal? Does it have a purpose or is it just an anatomical quirk?

[microtyger]

Love this short video. Now THAT was an interesting bit of information I've never really thought about before.
Thanks much! ☺️

I was actually going to ask this question! My ears ping tiny bits of wax and I can feel them land in the outer canal where I then dispose of. How amazing is the human body when we have an automatic self cleaning function 🤣

I was going to ask for this short! It's like y'all read my mind! Christmas cane early!!!

[starrwetzel]

I have always wondered about the wax. Thank you, thank you for sharing this.

[CrazyCatAER]

That was short but very informative- thanks

[Debrajoy]

I've always been told that my ears are really clean. Where is all my wax in debris? When I use a q-tip, I never dig down in my ears, but I rarely have any wax on them? Thank you for answering and I'm really learning a lot from these little shorts! 💜

I love the little skin animation. Of course, nothing is as good as a skin sled! 😜

[karenleplastrier]

Here's a scary thought, most ear wax simply falls from the ear canal. Next time your out shopping check the floors.... Merry Christmas.

Here's a bit on HOW the wax is actually moved outward (Google search):
🤔
"Most of the time, the old earwax is moved through the ear canal by motions from chewing and other jaw movements.."

I've never been this early....💃

Now this was interesting to know that the “wax” is only in the first part of the canal. I try really hard not to use cotton buds and just wipe round the inside of the ear with a damp cloth. 👂🏻👂🏻👂🏻

What causes ringing and echoing in the ears?

[operagirl]

Is there any way you can address the pros and cons of different headphones? I'm a dispatcher and constantly have an irritating on the ear headset that bothers my ear, but ear buds dampen too much outside noise.

[uwillcxm]

Yes, I’m been waiting for this also. Thank you

[sandrawitkowski]

Hank you. I never really understood where the wax came from. I had heard several different stories over the years. It's nice to finally know. Have a good holiday.

[veerlepeeters]

May I ask what is perspiration? The rest I understood . 😁👌
