Earwax production is an extremely

slow process that is important for

both humans and animals.

Earwax should fall out naturally

and never be removed using a

foreign object.

Earwax is a vital part of the ear

and has many important functions.

Earwax slowly travels through the

ear canal and into the open of the

ear.

These sounds could be something

as quiet as a mosquito to

something as loud as the beat of a

drum.

Earwax is produced by skin

glands in the outer ear canal,

which is located between the part

of the ear you can see and the

middle ear.

It protects the ear from dirt and

dust by lubricating, or moistening,

it and catching anything that may

damage the inside of the ear

canal.

The wax is a type of shield

between invaders and the hearing

“machine” inside the ear.
