You have ears so you can hear things. Some people are deaf, or cannot hear. Earwax is in your ear and you need to clean it out on a daily basis.

What is an ear?
An ear is an sensory organ of the body. It helps us to hear sound. The ear is composed of the external ear (which is visible) and the internal ear. The external ear… or the pinna is a flap of cartilagenous skin that aids in the collection and direction of sound waves into the inner ear. The inner ear has several parts which is beyond the scope of this answer but the main parts are the cochlea, vestibule and the ear drum. Sound waves directed inwards fall on the ear drum and then are carried inwards in the form of vibrations that the cochlea and the vestibule conduct onwards to the brain through special auditory nerves and hence there is perception of speech.

What does the ear drum do in your ear?
The ear drum (aka: Tympanic Membrane) has several functions. It helps protect our middle ear space from debris and foreign objects, it connects to the middle ear bones (ossicl…es) in order to transmit vibrations that enter the ear canal to the middle ear bones. The ossicles are connected to the fluid-filled inner ear organ (the cochlea). The sound wave vibrations that travel through the tympanic membrane to the ossicles vibrate the inner ear fluid; which helps transmit sound to our brain. The ear drum is sensitive and can break or perforate due to: Penetration due to a foreign object (ex:Que-Tips jammed too far in the ear canal), bugs and other pests can chew through it (this is why it is GOOD not to clean out wax intentionally; our body makes wax to protect the ear drum), or it can rupture due to fluid in the middle ear space building up from infection (this is why "tubes" are sometimes placed in ear drums of people with recurrent ear infections to help even out the pressure from the fluid to protect the ear drum). I have observed people with perforated or absent ear drums, and they can still hear, albeit not as well if they did have one, but as long as the middle ear bones are intact, they will still be able to vibrate to sound waves and thus the person can indeed hear. These patients must be careful because they are more prone to infection without the protection of their ear drum. (MORE)

What to do if your ears are bleeding from fake earrings?
Nickle Contact Dermatitis. This is the bodies ability to liberate the nickle salts from cheap plated jewellery, this causes the nickle salts to be deposited on the tissue and …becomes an irritant. This irritation can cause itching, discharge of clear fluid and bleeding, left long enough this will also cause swelling of the tissue. Remedy is to remove the material causing the reaction and wash the affected area with warm water and soap and dry the affected area. Do not apply anything to the tissue by way of healing agents like Polysporin or Neosporin, just allow the tissue to settle down on it's own. This will occur once the body has washed the nickle salts off of and out of the affected area. Do not use the material or item that has caused the reaction unless you place a physical barrier between it and where it contacts the body (band aid tape) to prevent the direct contact to the skin.

What is the ear piece in singers ears for?
If you were a singer at a music concert, hopefully the fans would be screaming. Hopefully. The musicians can't hear themselves play with all that screaming! They need a sp…ecial hearing device to let them hear themselves. Actually, the fans' noise has little to do with the musicians not being able to hear themselves. It is their own music that causes the problem. Not because it's too loud, (even though it probably is) but because even a moderate amount of ambient noise can prevent a singer from hearing themselves well enough to know if they are singing on key. If you watch a large choir singing, often you will see several of the singers holding a hand up to one side of their head - plugging one ear so they can hear themselves to know if they are on key or not. Try it yourself close to a loud radio. You will hear the difference, plugging one or both ears or not plugging either. Finally, the device does provide hearing protection for musicians where the sound next to those monster speakers can easily reach 130 db or more. +++ The trick that ear-closing uses is bone conduction, of that part of your voice reaching your ear internally being artificially above that coming through the air. It's also used by solo singers even when ambient noise is not very high. (MORE)

What is the answer to 20c plus 5 equals 5c plus 65?
20c + 5 = 5c + 65 Divide through by 5: 4c + 1 = c + 13 Subtract c from both sides: 3c + 1 = 13 Subtract 1 from both sides: 3c = 12 Divide both sides by 3: c = 4 20c + 5 = 5c …+65 20c - 5c= 65 - 5.
15c = 60.
15c/15 = 60/15.
c = 4 (alternative method). (MORE)
