Does anyone know Why there is wax in the ears?

It is a form of protectant lubrication for the sensitive ears. It works also as a dust catcher so to speak <LOL> If u use alcohol or any drying substance too often it will cause the ear to go into hyper production mode & secrete too much wax & then cause a problem in that sense as well. So, cleaning once a week or with a bath when needed is the way to go in my opinion, on already healthy ears.
