I have wax accumulated on both of my ears very often. My usual practice is to use Soliwax and consult a doctor to remove excess wax. Please advise how to avoid wax accumulation. Kindly note I will not use Ear Buds.

Earwax (also spelled ear wax), medically referred to as cerumen, is produced by glands in the outer ear canal. Its purpose is to trap dust and other small particles and prevent them from reaching and potentially damaging the eardrum. Earwax may also prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in the ear canal. So its helpful for us and you can not prevent it from forming.
