2.41   Repeated exposure to excessively loud sounds will destroy the tiny hair cells in the cochlea, resulting in hearing loss. Once destroyed, these hair cells can never be replaced. Rock concerts and exposure to other loud noises, such as power saws cause this type of hearing loss. Wearing ear plugs protects the ears from this type of damage. There is now evidence that prolonged exposure to even moderately loud sounds, such as head phones, has a cumulative effect and can cause hearing loss classified as nerve deafness.

2.42   Where does earwax come from? – Sebaceous glands and ceruminous glands, specialised sweat glands, located in the ear canal produce this wax-like secretion. Earwax, called cerumen, protects the ear from infection and traps debris or small insects that enter the ear. It also helps prevent the ear drum from drying out. Usually the wax moves outward, moving anything it trapped along with it.
