NeilMed Earwax Removal Aid

For occasional aid to soften, loosen and remove excessive earwax. What is earwax? Earwax is an accumulation of many different skin oils, skin debris, and other exudates that collect in the ear canal. Why do I have a problem with earwax? Quite simply, everyone is different. Some individuals produce excessive amounts of earwax, others do not. Additionally, it is not uncommon for one ear to contain an excessive amount of earwax, where the other ear is perfectly clear. Moreover, some individuals have a relatively narrow and/or contoured ear canal. Is earwax good or bad? It’s GOOD! In fact, earwax is the normal lubricant of the ear. Just as our skin contains lubricating oils to help protect against drying from water loss and heat damage, earwax functions to moisten the ear canal, while also helping to move bacteria and other pathogens from the surface. Thus, earwax has a protective function, and individuals who don’t produce enough earwax may experience dry, itchy ears.
