What causes ear wax to form?!


Question: Think of wax as the sticky stuff on a No Pest Strip. The primary purpose of ear wax is to protect your ear canal and ear drum from such foreign materials such as flies, small bits of plant material etc, dirt fragments.

If you get too much earwax and need it clearing there are plenty off the counter products you can buy nowadays to clear it, much safer I think than getting the dreaded syringing done, I hate that... Hope this helps.
