Answers: Cerumen glands (earwax is technically called cerumen) in your ear canal.

Your ear naturally creates ear wax to fight off dust and infection from going into your ears. It's the same as your nostril hairs preventing dust from going into your nose, or eyelashes to prevent dirt from going into your eyes. It's sort of a defense mechanism.
