 What
is earwax ? |
Description:
Earwax
is a yellowish, waxy substance secreted in the ear canal of humans
and many other mammals. It plays an important role in the human
ear canal, assisting in cleaning and lubrication, and also
provides some protection from bacteria, fungus, and insects.
Excess or impacted cerumen can press against the eardrum and/or
occlude the external auditory canal and impair hearing.
