    Advantages of oily ears: Earwax is not easy to clump into clumps to avoid blockage.

    Although our ears have a certain cleaning ability, if the dander shed from our ears is relatively large, it will lead to the formation of earwax is relatively large, which is likely to lead to the blockage of the ear canal, which not only affects our hearing, but also brings us discomfort.

    For people with oily ears, there is no such trouble, because most oily earwax is soft, and it is not easy to condense into a clump, as long as it is cleaned regularly, it can basically avoid the occurrence of ear canal blockage.
