In many cases, ear wax can be harmless, posing no real danger, as there are natural mechanisms which ideally should take care of it. The ear is naturally self-cleaning. When dead skin from the inner ear begins to migrate out, it naturally pushes out old ear wax as it is coming out. But sometimes, things go awry, and this natural process gets halted. Ear wax can build up as a result of this, and many upsetting symptoms would be the result. Pains in the ear(s), hearing loss, a ringing sensation in the ear (tinnitus), and dizziness are some of the symptoms you could notice. When you notice the ..read more

The skin of the ear canal has a special ability to move, somewhat like a conveyor belt. New skin cells are produced in the outer part of the ear canal, and older skin cells are p ..read more
