Solution

The correct option is A Earwax
  • Earwax is a yellowish, waxy material inside the ear that comes from the sebaceous gland in the ear canal.
  • It is also known as cerumen. Earwax lubricates, cleans, and protects the lining of the ear canal.
  • Some people are prone to produce too much earwax. In fact, the most common cause of earwax blockage is at-home removal.
  • Using cotton swabs, bobby pins, or other objects in your ear canal can also push wax deeper, creating a blockage. Hence, Excessive Earwax can affect hearing and feel very uncomfortable.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Earwax'.
