No, dear. It's not true.

your mom tells you that because it's a gross and disgusting habit and she doesn't know any other way to get you to stop doing it. how the hell do you "accidentally" consume ear wax? did it leak out of yoour ear onto your pillow and you rolled over into it? how much ear wax do you have that you're able to eat it? why are all these people telling you this? do you do it in public? that's sick. and no, there is absolutely nothing you can eat that will make you go deaf. good god, what a moron

No - it is NOT true but you shouldn't be eating it anyway. Earwax is a substance yo body excrete so it is something your body wants to get rid off. Eating it defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
But hey! IF you want to eat it, go ahead. You won't be mute but you might get real sick (who knows what horrible germs live in the earwax. Afterall, it is in your ear - a nice dark warm place for them to multiply)

You are amazing! I never knew anyone who could get their tongue into their own ear to get at the wax.
Don't worry about whether or not it might make you mute, but rather, think about how you might make better use of your special tongue.

If you consume enough ear wax, say, 35lbs worth, you might become mute - and much more.

This is what is known as an urban legend, dear! I don't think you have to worry about it anyway, I mean who accidentally consumes ear wax, lol :)

Yes, it makes you mute. And if you put spit in your ear, you become deaf!

I'm disappointed that you asked us not to make fun of you. I really want to.
You are old enough to type but not old enough to figure this out for yourself? Really.

No. It is destroyed in your stomach. If you eat a lot of it, you might get sick, but that is all.

That's what happened to Teller from Penn & Teller.
