Earwax is generally considered a pain in the neck, an annoying substance that collects in the ears and looks bad. Despite all, it plays an important role by waxing the auditory canal. In addition, it protects against insects, infections and physical particles such as dust, water and soil. Just as it is not good to have too little of it, it is also not beneficial to have too much of it for it can reduce the ability to hear. People differ among each other in the earwax type which can be wet or dry.
