    The cartilage of the external auditory canal** has cerumen glands, and its yellowish viscous secretion is called cerurumen, commonly known as earwax. Cerumen is flaky when dried in the air; Some cerumen are like sticky oil, commonly known as "oil ears". Cerumen has the effect of protecting the external auditory canal** and adherent foreign objects, and usually excretes it by itself with the help of chewing, mouth opening and other exercises.

    There are also some people who have particularly strong cerumen gland secretion; The earwax cannot be discharged again, and gradually dries and gathers into dark brown hard lumps, sometimes hard like stones, tightly blocked in the external ear canal, commonly known as hard earwax, medically called cerumen embolism. If you find cerumen embolism, you must go to the hospital for treatment.

    The cerumen inside the ear cannot be scooped, because it also has a certain protective effect on the external ear canal, which can prevent the infection of some harmful bacteria such as mold, and can also stick to some dust to protect the ear canal. Frequent ear picking can also easily cause infection or damage to the ear canal.

    Earwax is an oily secretion produced by the cerumen gland in the human ear canal, which is yellow, also known as earwax, and the scientific name is "cerumen". It protects the eardrum and acts as a barrier. The eardrum is thinner than the cicada's wings, very delicate, and the violent sound waves, straight to the ear canal, can damage the eardrum and even cause rupture.

    Cerumen is bitter and oily, and can expel small insects that fly into the ears and trap invading dust and bacteria.

    Surveys have found that 93 percent of people with wet cerumen ("oily ears") also have fox odor. Babies with cerumen are softened, and mothers are more likely to develop breast cancer. The ancient herbs called earwax "earplugs", which were used by the ancients as medicine, used for crazy ghosts and spirits and alcoholism, foot and hand sores (scratching sores and water), snakes, insects, centipede stings, tetanus, children's night cry and fever, etc.

    Earwax is not something to be had. After natural drying, it accumulates a lot in the ears, and when the person is active, it will fall off on its own and be excreted from the body. So you don't have to dig it up often.

    The Han people also have taboos about earwax (earwax). Thinking that one's earwax (commonly known as "deafness") should not be thrown around, it is not good for one's body to let others step on it. If you swallow your own earwax, you will become dumb or deaf.

    In short, although earwax has left the self, it can still have a magical effect on the self, so avoid taboos.

    What are earwax made of? In terms of physical properties, earwax wax is usually a pale yellow waxy dry flake substance, bitter in taste, insoluble in water, alcohol or ether; According to chemical analysis, earwax contains oil, stearin, fatty acids, proteins, and yellow pigment, as well as water, and a little chalk, potassium, sodium, and other elements.

    Because earwax is rich in oil, it moisturizes the fine hairs on the ear canal**, which block dust particles blown in from the outside. Earwax and fine hairs also protect the ears from insects and other microorganisms. The insects that occasionally break in encounter dense fine hairs and are blocked in their way; The taste of earwax is bitter, and when the insect tastes the bitterness of earwax, it will "know the difficulty and retreat".

    In addition, oil-rich earwax keeps the ear canal at a certain temperature and humidity, especially for the eardrum deep in the ear canal, so that the eardrum is always in optimal motion.

    Fatty acid-rich earwax forms an acid film on the surface of the ear canal**, which puts the external ear canal in an acidic environment and has a mild bactericidal effect. It has been shown that the chemical components in earwax can inhibit the growth and reproduction of several types of bacteria.

    Earwax and fine hairs can not only absorb dust and microorganisms entering the ear canal and keep the ear canal clean, but also make the ear canal cavity slightly narrower, filter and buffer the incoming sound waves, so that the eardrum will not be injured by strong sounds.

    It can be seen that normal earwax is not a waste product, and it still has a certain contribution to the protection of hearing organs.

    What you said is indeed reasonable, many people like to pick their ears, but earwax should not be often removed, because if the ears are not dug and deaf, if you often pick up earwax, it will be easy to cause deafness after a long time, you should go to the hospital at the appropriate time to find a specialist doctor to pick your ears, that will be better.

    When the earwax gathers, the earwax can usually move outward on its own, and then when the mouth is opened and closed, the cartilage of the ear canal will also drive the cartilage movement of the ear canal, and part of the earwax will be transmitted to the ear canal or fall out. Therefore, there is no need to clean the ear canal too often.

    Of course, if too much earwax causes some symptoms, such as itchy ears and blockage, you can clean them, pick your ears, or go to the hospital for external ear canal irrigation, but it is not recommended to pick your ears frequently for a long time, or pick your ears in an ear cleaning shop outside, which may destroy the barrier function of the ear canal and easily lead to ear canal inflammation.

    The external auditory canal of a healthy person has a self-cleaning function and does not need to be cleaned by external force. If you blindly remove it, it may damage the local soft tissues, cause otitis externa and even inflammation of the eardrum, and affect hearing.

    Whether there is earwax in the ear canal needs to be removed depends on the shape of the cerurumen, as follows:

    1. No need to dig: If it is only manifested as flocculent earwax scattered in the ear canal, there is generally no need to deliberately pick the ear, and this type of earwax can often be gradually discharged by the patient's own mouth opening or chewing action.

    2. Need to dig: Some patients may have a relatively narrow external auditory canal, which makes it difficult for the cerumen in the ear canal to be discharged smoothly, and gradually accumulates into a clump to form a cerumen mass embolism in the external auditory canal, which will cause obvious blockage of the external auditory canal, and even further lead to the symptoms of ear stuffiness, ear blockage, hearing loss, and even tinnitus. You can also use phenol glycerin, ear drops, etc. to soften and dilute as appropriate, and then clean up.
