How Wax is diagnosed and treated: Earwax , also known by the medical term cerumen , is a yellowish, waxy substance secreted in the ear canal of humans and many other mammals . It plays an important role in the human ear canal, assisting in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides some protection from bacteria , fungus , and insects . A comprehensive review of the physiology and pathophysiology of cerumen can be found in Roeser and Ballachanda. Excess or impacted cerumen can press against the eardrum and/or occlude the external auditory canal and impair hearing. |
