Doctor Joe Griffith, doctor of audiology and the owner of Accessible Hearing Aids would like to explain to you why ear wax is a good thing. Ear wax has a protective function. Often it can indicate the state of your health. Basically, ear wax has three functions:
- It keeps your ear canal lubricated.
- It prevents your ears from itching.
- It prevents pollutants from entering your inner ear.
If you notice earwax that is bloody, black, or has an unpleasant smell, it’s important that you make an appointment right away.
