Am I Doing It Wrong? explores the all-too-human anxieties we have about trying to get our lives right.
The human ear is a magical organ that allows us to hear and helps keep our balance. It’s also the production site and happy home of ear wax — the orangey-brown, chunky, funky gunk that’s completely natural, but not exactly the most desirable gift our body gives us.
“If you take a look at the diameter of the cotton swab, it’s about the diameter of your ear canal,” Kasper, who has been an audiologist for over 25 years, noted. “And if you just stick that in your ear, all you’re doing is plunging the wax further down into the ear canal. You might get a little satisfaction out of a little wax on the Q-Tip, but you’re not really getting anything out.”
“The ear canal itself is just skin tissue and the wax is produced from what’s called sebaceous glands — they’re little glands in the ear canal,” Kasper explained. “The ear canal skin is kind of like a conveyor belt where, as it starts to die off, it migrates outward, taking along with it the wax as well. So if you just run water in your ear in the shower, it should flush that out.”Michelson agreed.
