Why do some people have more ear wax than others?

Answer 1

earwax is used to protect the ear from dust and other such things. Some people have more ear wax because they spend more time in dirt filled air, the ear wax traps the dust and dirt so it doesnt infect the ear. Also people that listen to music extremely loud face the same thing, there body is producing more wax to protect the ear drum. genetics also plays a roll i hope this helps

Answer 2

Because some people clean their ears and some don't..hhaaa. Just joking.. the real answer is small canals. Some people are born with small canals and can't get into their ear space to clean them, so their doctors suggest they use ear wax removal kit, which contains drops to break up the wax, and a rubber bulb that holds warm water to squeeze into the ear once a month to keep the ear wax build up.

Answer 3

that is all rash for some peoples ears get in infect all the time which i do like when you look at kids they have the same thing when they get order they will have but some will have it all they life on the other hand moisture some times can make it which some people do not dir they ears out all if you go to clean you ears it can it worse but this is for all people do not use cotton bud or any thank at all you push earwax back in to the ear drum which it can make the ear worse

i hope this helps you out

Answer 4

The amount of wax produced varies from person to person dependent on their lifestyle, diet, age, skin condition, anxiety levels and anatomy of the ear canal. You are more likely to have excess wax if you have a high fat diet, if you are elderly or of an anxious disposition, if you have narrow ear canals, if your parents had excess wax problems, or if you try to remove wax using an object in the ear, such as a cotton bud.

Answer 5

Just like some people have more oily skins than others. Ear wax is similar to the sebum that makes the skin oily.

Answer 6

Its all about the body, some peoples bodies create earwax more than others.
Think its got to do with moisture and how much your ear is trying to clean out the dirt in your ear

Answer 7

Poking around in your ears irritates them and causes them to produce more wax. I think it's a vicious circle.
