Earwax itself can be formed from the inner to outer ear canal by collecting dead skin cells, dirt, and even hair.

The importance of Cleaning the Ears

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The dirt is in a normal condition and is very good for health, but Sahabat Dream must ensure that the dirt does not accumulate. If it accumulates and starts to cause symptoms such as decreased hearing or dizziness, clean the dirt slowly and carefully to avoid causing infection."

The accumulation of earwax that causes blockage is called impaction. The ear will feel full, ringing, smelly, and painful. Dream friends can also experience hearing loss, dizziness, and coughing when impaction occurs.
