Cerumen
Cerumen, commonly known as earwax, is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal. It helps trap dust and microorganisms, protecting the ear from infections. Cerumen naturally moves out of the ear canal, but excessive buildup can cause blockages and hearing loss, requiring professional removal.
