Earwax is medically known as cerumen. Cerumen generally does not need to be removed intentionally, but can be cleaned on a daily basis; only if it causes cerumen embolism do you need to take measures to remove it, and if the location is too deep, it is recommended to go to the hospital to remove the cerumen after sufficiently softening it with the aid of an otoscope. There is no easiest way to deal with it on your own.
Cerumen is a yellowish, sticky substance secreted by the cerumen glands, usually in the form of flakes when dried in the air, or in some cases in the form of sticky grease. Cerumen protects the skin of the external auditory canal and adheres to foreign objects. Cerumen is normally discharged by chewing and opening the mouth, and can be cleaned regularly with an ear scoop, without the need for other means of removal.
If cerumen embolism has been caused, it is necessary to remove the cerumen. If the cerumen is too deep, it is recommended that it should not be removed by oneself, and there is no so-called easiest way to remove the cerumen; it should be removed by a physician in the hospital after sufficiently softening the cerumen and with the assistance of an otoscope, so as to avoid damaging the external auditory canal and the tympanic membrane.
It is not recommended to use cotton swabs to clean the ear on a daily basis, as it may cause some cerumen to be pushed deeper and deeper. In case of cerumen impaction, the cerumen should be removed by a doctor in a hospital and should not be removed by oneself.
