Did you know your ears are actually self cleaning?

Wax is only produced in the first part of the ear canal where the hairs are.

These hairs have two glands at the bottom of each hair which secrete the ear wax.

The skin lining the ear canal is being constantly shed and this spirals outwards to mix with the wax and then exits the ear.

That process is called the Migratory Process and renders your ear as self-cleaning!

Obviously sometimes this doesn’t always happen and we get a build up of excessive wax. This can be for all sorts of reasons including narrowed or hairy ear canals, older age, the use of hearing aids or ear plugs and even cotton buds.  Anxiety, stress, diet and genetics may also contribute to the problem.

REMEMBER never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear!
