Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance produced by the ears to protect them from infection and foreign objects. In most cases, ear wax is self-cleaning and does not require removal. However, if the ear wax becomes impacted or causes hearing problems, it may need to be removed by a healthcare provider. There are several methods that can be used to remove ear wax, including irrigation, ear drops, and manual removal. It is important to avoid using cotton swabs or other objects to clean the ear canal, as this can push the ear wax further into the ear and cause blockages.
