Ear Wax



'Wax in human ear' is topic of today's article. From where does this wax in ear comes from? Is it harmful or not harmful? Does it is collected in ear from outside of body or produced by inside of body?


Ear wax is normally found in both human ears. It comes from no outside human body source. Actually, it is produced in outer portion of ear canal. Yes, in outer one third ear canal portion; it is produced and not anywhere else. Its harmful or helpful status depend upon state of body.

When it is produced in normal amounts, it is not at all harmful; but when it is produced in excess or get infected, then it produce harm by blocking ear canal. In fact, it is very helpful for ear health when produced in normal amounts. But how? It is helpful, as in normal quantities it does the work of moisturizing ear, pathogen killer and protects from infection and minor ear injuries and acts as water resistant barrier on outer ear and outer portion of ear canal.

But, when it is produced in excess, then it blocks ear canal. It is harmful, when excess water goes inside ear which exceeds its absorbing capacity and saturate and fails its water resistant barrier; then it gets infected and causes ear blockage and concomitant symptoms of ear infection.




People often make mistake of try hit and trial method to resolve ear blockage. But, my advice is consult ENT specialist; as there are so many causes of symptoms of ear canal blockage, which needs to be evaluated to give right treatment and ear canal is also very delicate area, to remove impacted wax from. Treat it with right treatment and then ENT doctor removes it without injuring delicate tympanic membrane of ear.
