8. Earwax of a gray color

If your earwax is gray without any other symptoms, there is nothing to worry about. It is probably just dust.
This color of earwax is a regular thing for city dwellers because the air in cities is rather polluted.

7. Earwax with traces of blood

If you notice traces of blood when cleaning your ears, it can indicate that your eardrum is perforated. In this case, your ears can be affected by infections, which can lead to otitis and consequently to the worsening of your hearing. That is why it is worth visiting a doctor.

6. Earwax of a brown color

If the earwax discharge is excessive and of darker colors, this can indicate that your body has gone through a very stressful time.
That is why you should try to spend a few days in a calm and peaceful environment.

5. Earwax of a black color

If it happened only once, there is nothing to worry about. However, if your ears are itchy, and the itching becomes stronger, then you should visit a doctor because the black color of the earwax signifies a fungal infection.

4. Earwax of a white color

The white color of your earwax can signify that there is a lack of vitamins and microelements inside your body, specifically iron and copper.
That is why it is recommended to add beans and oatmeal to your diet. It wouldn’t be bad to take a course of vitamins as well.

3. Earwax with an unpleasant smell

If there is a strong unpleasant smell coming from your earwax, it can signify an infection inside your middle ear.
Apart from the smell, you might also hear a noise or feel your ears pop from time to time. If you have these symptoms, it is worth visiting an ENT doctor.

2. Liquid earwax

If the consistency of your earwax has changed recently, it can indicate the start of the inflammation process. If so, it is worth making an appointment with a specialist.

1. Dry earwax

The easiest explanation for earwax dryness is a lack of lean fats inside your body.
Apart from that, the reason could be dermatitis and other skin diseases, which can make your skin dry.

What is the effect of wind getting inside the ear? Can it lead to infection?

Getting wind inside the ear? Wind consist of particles and dust. By cleaning your ear often, I don't think it can lead to any infection

It happened to me, it was wind coming through a vehicles window . The opposite ear became extra sensitive to sound shortly after and I could occasionally feel a bit of discomfort inside both ears. I never had it checked because I forget when its normal. Sometimes I put disinfectant (dreg solution) on the ear bud and use it to clean, especially if the ear feels itchy inside.
