What is Ear Wax?
Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is entirely ordinary and necessary. The glands naturally produce it to moisten the ear canals to protect the eardrum from dust and debris, even insects. Earwax typically clears itself from the ears, but it can buildup and cause blockages in some cases.Symptoms of Ear Wax Blockage
