Welcome to Ross and Jamieson Hearing. If you’ve ever wondered about that mysterious substance in your ears, you’re not alone. Earwax plays a vital role in keeping your hearing healthy, but when it builds up, it can cause discomfort. Let’s break it down simply.
The Role of Earwax
Earwax, scientifically known as cerumen, is a natural, waxy substance produced by glands in your ear canal. It’s not just random gunk—it’s your ear’s built-in defence system. This clever concoction traps dust, dirt, dead skin cells, and even pesky bacteria or insects that might wander in, preventing them from reaching your sensitive eardrum. It also keeps your ear canal lubricated and hydrated, reducing the risk of dryness or infection. In short, a little earwax is a good thing—your ears are self-cleaning wonders.
Why Does Earwax Build Up?
Most of the time, earwax migrates out on its own as you chew or move your jaw. But sometimes, it can accumulate and form a blockage, leading to muffled hearing, itchiness, or even dizziness. Common culprits include:
- Naturally producing more or drier wax.
- Narrow or hairy ear canals.
- Inserting cotton buds, which can push wax deeper instead of removing it.
- Using earplugs or hearing aids regularly.
