Lets talk simple ear care

Its sounds silly to write simple things but sometimes people may overlook such things.Please read on-

Normal ear wax is produced in the oil glands located in the outer two thirds of the ear canal.

The purpose of wax is to catch dirt and debris and to prevent it from reaching the eardrum (tympanic membrane). Wax also lubricates the ear canal.
 With the normal progression of skin growth, the wax is forced up and out of the ear canal. Wax is also extruded outside by the movements of our jaw.
Occasionally, the skin of the ear canal may be dry. The wax may be dry as well. Therefore, the normal progression of wax production and removal is interrupted. 
DO NOT USE EAR BUDS
Use of ear buds simply pushes the wax further in the deeper part of ear canal.
DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN EARS WITH WATER
NOTE: EAR BUDS AND WATER CAN BE THE SOURCE OF INFECTION
