the type of earwax you have comes down in part to your skin type, Dr. Shapiro explains. People with oilier skin may have wet earwax, while those with drier skin tend to have dry earwax, she says.
People of East Asian descent are more likely to have dry earwax, while wet earwax seems to be more common with everyone else
I’m just gonna leave this here.
Something (maybe Alexandrite") borked the link for me. If anyone else has the same issue, here you go:

And yeah, that’s nasty. I had to get my earwax flushed out once. It was unpleasant and super gross, and I’ve used the specialized peroxide solutions a couple of times in the years since. My wife has the dry wax gene, and finds wet wax both gross and confusing.
The only thing I’ll add is that having used a cheap camera earwax cleaner, the magnification makes every normal little waxbooger look like a Star Trek brain slug, so while still dramatic (don’t get me wrong), the videos always look just a touch more dramatic than they really are.
Like, with a warm water jet by a nurse?
It’s ooky but it certainly works.
Yup. Big-ass syringe full of warm water, possibly with some solution in it (I don’t recall that part). It was affecting my hearing in one ear, and the flush fixed it right up.

What’s the matter, Zerlyna? Did I post the wrong link?
I think it’s just really impressive to see that much ear wax coming out of someone’s ear. I honestly had no clue
🤣 TIL too much lol. Never seen that much come out of an ear before!!
I should have included a trigger warning 🤣
