Original Note:
Ear wax, also called cerumen, is a natural part of the human ear. Harvard Health states the functions of cerumen include protecting the ear canal from dirt, dead skin cells, and bacteria/other infectious organisms. The amount of cerumen produced in the ear varies by person. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/3-reasons-to-leave-earwax-alone-2017051711718
