People’s ears produce earwax（耳垢） which protects and cleans the ears. It keeps insects and dirty things out. Doctors think earwax might also help protect against some illnesses. And waxy oil keeps ears from getting too dry. So earwax is good. There are two kinds of earwax. Most Europeans( 欧洲人) and Africans（非洲人） have the “wet” kind, thick and sticky. East Asians(亚洲人) commonly have “dry” earwax.
But you can’t have too much of a good thing. If earwax is too much, it will fall out of the ears. And extra(多余的)earwax can form(形成) a blockage that prevents sound waves and cause hearing loss(听力丧失).
It’s necessary to clean our extra earwax. But you have to use a good method, or you could hurt yourself. Sometimes when people try to use a cotton swab(棉签) to clean out their ears, they may push wax deeper inside and even hurt the eardrum. Scientists suggest that people should use special oil or water to make earwax soft and wash it out. After the earwax is gone, please dry the ear.
( )36. Earwax can do something good for people except ____________.
