Ear is one of the important organs of the five senses, which not only controls hearing, but also has the function of maintaining body balance.

Cleaning of ears

Earwax is a kind of secretion that naturally protects the external auditory canal. No special cleaning is needed, just cleaning the auricle. Don't think that cotton swabs are better tools for ear plucking. In fact, it will only push most of the earwax deeper into the ear hole, forming a blockage, and the cotton ball may also stay in the ear canal.
