Anonymous users2024-02-12Earwax, also known as earwax, is a brown, orange, red, yellowish, or gray waxy substance secreted in the ear canals of humans and other mammals. It protects the human ear canal**, helps clean and lubricate, and provides protection against bacteria, fungus, and water. Earwax consists of dead ** cells, hair and earwax by secretions of cerumen and sebaceous glands of the external auditory canal.
The main components of earwax are long-chain fatty acids, both saturated and unsaturated, alcohols, squalene, and cholesterol. Excess or compacted earwax is a buildup of earwax that causes a blockage in the ear canal that can press on the eardrum or block the external ear canal or hearing aids, potentially leading to hearing loss. <>
Earwax is produced in the outer third of the cartilage portion of the ear canal. It is a mixture viscous. Secretions from the sebaceous glands and from modified viscous less of those apocrine glands.
The main component of earwax is the exfoliating layer, which is 60% of the average earwax made up of keratin, 12-20 of saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acids, alcohol, squalene and 6-9 of cholesterol. Earwax has the same basic composition for everyone, but the substance itself can vary in color and texture. People from Northeast Asian countries such as China and South Korea are more likely to develop earwax.
Dry earwax can be hard, red to black in color, or flaky, light yellow. For most others, earwax is usually slimy and ranges in shades from pale orange to pale orange. <>
You may be wondering what to do with this earwax. The answer is no. Earwax is another of the many creative ways the body can protect itself.
It can be used as a sticky trap for debris and bacteria trying to get into the ear. In addition, earwax is self-cleaning. Eventually, it will fall out or out of the ear.
Therefore, this substance should be kept unless there is an excessive build-up of earwax in your ears (in which case you should see a doctor). Devices such as cotton swabs, while seemingly convenient for removing earwax, can actually cause damage to the ear by pushing it deeper into the ear or introducing other debris such as loose cotton cloth into the ear canal. <>

Problem description: It would be nice to explain it in detail Ah, thanks.
Analysis: The cerumen gland of the external auditory canal secretes a yellowish, viscous substance, commonly known as earwax, which is medically called cerumen. There is no scientific basis for earwax to become dumb after eating.
The Han people also have taboos about earwax (earwax). Thinking that one's earwax (commonly known as "deafness") should not be thrown around, let others step on it, which is not good for one's body. 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 can moisturize the fine hairs on the ear canal**, which can 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.

The earwax in the human ear is commonly known as "earwax", medically called cerumen, some people cerumen and sebaceous glands secrete a lot, and the discharge is brownish-yellow, oily viscous substance, which has accumulated in the outer tract after it has not been dried, and some even flow out of the ear, and some condense into a clump, these are collectively called soft earwax, commonly known as "oily ear", medically called oily cerumen. 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 cerumen embolism is found, especially after water has entered the ear canal, the cerumen swelling can cause ear tightness. >>>More
