👉 Earwax, or earworms, are a type of infection that occurs in the ears. They can be caused by various factors such as excessive cleaning of the ears, exposure to certain substances, or stress. Earwax is a sticky, black substance that forms on the outer surface of the eardrum and may appear to "hang" there for extended periods of time. It is important to note that earworms are not contagious and do not pose any risk to health.
