Here they produce cerumen, or earwax, by mixing their secretion with sebum and dead epidermal cells.
Hearing aids may be associated with increased earwax impaction.
Racial differences also exist in the cerumen glands: apocrine sweat glands which produce earwax.
The ear is also self-cleaning and earwax is needed to protect the ear from dirt, dust, and bacterial infections.
Earwax is partly composed of sebum produced by glands in the ear canal.
If the ear shows irritation and buildup of dirt and earwax, the hairs from the ear canal should be gently plucked out regularly.
