Wax, medically called cerumen, is secreted in the outer portion of the ear canal; in the outer third of the canal where it is mostly cartilage rather than bony. Other components of cerumen include sticky secretions from sebaceous glands and less thick and sticky secretions from ceruminous glands. Cerumen protects the organ from infections by trapping dirt and other foreign particles and preventing them from traveling further into it.

This, too, carries the risk of damage to the eardrum if the water is pushed in with too much force. This is a good thing as hearing loss is the #1 disability the veteran’s suffer from after serving our country.

Many have gone to Milwaukee in the past and are now going to the Audiology Clinic in Green Bay.
