Is Earwax necessary?

Ear wax has nothing to do with germs. The eustachian tubes (one on each side) help drain the sinuses and ears. Ear wax is a natural "lubricant" of the ear canal, much like saliva lubricates the mucous membranes of the mouth. Ear wax darkens with illnesses or environmental changes. For example, cigarette smokers often produce more and darker ear wax than non-smokers. It is true that ear wax "catches" insects, but only because of the sticky nature of ear wax. It prevents the insect from moving, but that also means the insect can't move OUT. Once trapped, the wax suffocates the insect.

What connects the ear and throat?

The ear and throat are connected by the Eustachian tube, which helps to equalize pressure in the middle ear and drain any fluid that may accumulate. This tube runs from the middle ear to the back of the throat (nasopharynx), allowing for communication between the two areas. Additionally, infections or conditions affecting one area, like a cold or allergies, can often impact the other due to this connection.
