Understanding Earwax Removal in Romford
What is ear wax?
Ear wax or “cerumen” is produced by the skin glands in the outer ear canal and normally migrates outwards. While you may not think about ear wax too much, it is essential to your ear health. Here are some of the protective qualities that ear wax delivers:
- Anti-Bacterial
Thanks to its sticky texture, ear wax prevents bacteria and germs from penetrating the ear. Without ear wax, your ears could become infected and damaged.
- Maintains pH
Ear wax is responsible for lubricating the skin and maintaining the ear’s natural pH balance. The right pH levels serve to prevent dryness and irritation as well as possible infection.
- Self-Cleaning Properties
Did you know that your ear wax acts as an in-built cleaning service for your ears? By preventing bacteria or dirt from taking hold, ear wax cleans as it goes.
- Insect Repellent
The thought of an insect intruding into your ear is awful. Fortunately, ear wax acts as a natural insect repellent.
