Earwax protects the skin of the ear canal, provides little (but some) protection from bacteria, fungi, insects and water and also helps in cleaning and lubrication.
The small tube lined with ear wax and ear hair is the ear canal. It is where sound waves pass through to reach the eardrum, causing it to vibrate and enabling us to hear. The ear wax helps to protect the ear canal from dust, dirt, and bacteria.
Ear wax is there to line the skin that is present in the ear leading up to the ear drum. The wax keeps the skin supple and prevents the skin drying and cracking. Obviously, if the wax builds up too much, it could effect the hearing. If so, the ears can be medically syringed and excess wax removed, restoring hearing.
Ear wax has a bitter taste, often described as a combination of metallic and sour flavors. However, it is not recommended to intentionally taste ear wax as it can contain bacteria and other contaminants.
Not necessarily. Ear wax is produced naturally as a protective coating for the ear canal, and irritation of the canal can cause increased production. When excessive ear wax has been removed, if there is no irritation the production of ear wax should return to normal.
Yes, human ear wax can contain DNA due to cells shed from the ear canal lining. However, the amount of DNA present in ear wax is usually very low, making it a less reliable source of genetic material compared to other bodily sources like saliva or blood.
An ear wax candle works by creating a vacuum that draws out ear wax when the candle is lit and placed in the ear. The heat from the candle melts the ear wax, which is then drawn up into the candle as it burns. This process can help to remove excess ear wax effectively.

Yes, there re different types of ear wax, dry ear wax, wet, etc.... But if your ear wax is too wet or dry, that means you are sick or not eating too well.... I hope you are OK. with my answer......
Yes, ear wax does contain DNA. DNA can be found in the cells that are shed in the ear canal and mix with the wax.
No, ear wax does not drain into the throat. It is produced in the ear canal and typically moves out of the ear naturally.

The scientific name for ear wax is cerumen.
Try inserting an exactoknife into the ear canal and twist it until the ear wax falls right out.
Ear wax helps to keep your external auditory meatus and your tympanic membrane soft and pliable. If you remove the ear wax, your ear drum could dry out and crack.
A dog's ear wax is typically brown or dark in color.
Ceruminous gland cells in the ear canal produce ear wax, which is a combination of secretions from these cells and oil glands. These glands do not contain any specific organelles unique to ear wax production.
Ear wax is secreted by the ceruminous glands of the ears. It functions to protect the ears from outside contaminants. Diseases do not spread well through ear wax, but it may be possible to catch diseases transmitted through body fluids via ear wax.
