Ear wax removal
Earwax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance produced by the ear to protect and moisturize the ear canal. Typically, the ear's self-cleaning process naturally removes earwax from the ear canal to the opening, where it dries and falls out.
However, in some cases, earwax can accumulate and become impacted, leading to ear discomfort or hearing issues. When this occurs, it may be necessary to remove the wax. There are safe methods for doing so, but it's crucial to avoid ear candling and never use cotton swabs, bobby pins, or sharp objects, as they can push earwax further and risk injury.
