I was watching earwax removal videos, and became curious. How do people build up such huge chunks of earwax without knowing it is in there? Does water not clear a lot of it?

Some people are so unaware of themselves/their own bodies, you’d be surprised

I dated a guy whose teenager told me that his mom told him that he never needed to clean his ears because it drains out on its own. The kid and his brother from the same mother, always had ear infections, always had brown ear wax dropping in clumps around their ear holes and still NEVER cleaned them unless I’dsay something or make him let me clean it myself for him🤮
