Is it possible to do something to decrease earwax?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear wax: Not really. Everyone produces at a different rate. Keeping your ear clear of buildup usually just requires a damp washcloth while you bathe or shower daily. Don't push the wax down the canal, though. Avoid sticking q-tips down the canal, too.
