Wax is a secretion, like mucus, that is meant to excrete junk from your system and trap things trying to get in. In the ears, the mucus needs to be wax so that it does not flow back into the ear and block your up-turned ear-drum while you sleep on your side or we would all be pretty helpless at night if predators or danger was around. So those people with thicker ear liquids survived - now it is waxy since we need to create it but it needs to be thick as well so it does not flow. What is it made of? It is a little like sweat and a little like snot and some substances develop in it before it clumps up enough to fall out or be removed, so it is also a little like cheese!!!! Sorry you asked?

Syringing will usually sparkling wax. yet, it is going to usually in basic terms paintings if the plug of wax has been softened. hence, use ear drops to soften wax 2-three times an afternoon for 5 days only before syringing. Ear syringing is often painless. Lukewarm water is squirted into the ear canal. This dislodges the softened plug which then falls out with the water.

Earwax plays an important role in the human ear canal, assisting in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides some protection from bacteria, fungi, and insects.
Earwax, or cerumen, is a yellowish, waxy substance.

ear wax comes from behind the eardrum, it it the exta mucus from the ear. it goes in the ear canal to drain from the body.
some of it also goes down a tube in your throat, but that is gross if you think about it too much.

helps protect the ear from damage and infections. The wax is produced from glands on your outer ear called cereum.

earwax is produced in order to prevent bugs from entering our ears and also protects us from infection from bacteria and viruses to some extent. It composed of squalene, lanosterol, and cholesterol, in other words oil.
