and damned if you don't.I worked in an extremely noisy environment for a decade: pneumatic tools, hammering, loud machinery, etc. The wax build up was quite tremendous, and the doctor informed me that it was due to the earplugs I wore daily. Apparently the ear secretes wax to push foreign debris out of the ear, and it 'sees' the earplug as a huge bit of rubbish. If you use earplugs, including those in the ear headphones, expect to have your ears cleaned on a regular basis.
Then again, once your ears were cleaned ,your hearing acuity would have been increased dramatically, with the wax having protected your hearing....
