where does earwax come from?

Question

I know in ears...but exactly where is it made and what is it?

Answer 1

It's secretions from within the ear. Dust, foreign particles, etc get in the ear from the air, lying on a couch, on a bed, etc. The body's defense mechanism takes over and secretes fluids which encase these foreign particles so they won't damage the delicate eardrum and membrane.

Answer 2

From a gland in your ear, not sure whats its called but after 12 ear aches a year u get to know to much about the ear.

Answer 3

Central China
