The external auditory canal, also known as the ear canal, is a tube-like passage that connects the outer ear to the eardrum.
The external auditory canal is lined with skin and hair, which helps to protect the ear from foreign objects and infection.
The external auditory canal also produces cerumen, or earwax, which helps to lubricate and protect the ear canal.
Excessive cerumen can lead to a blockage of the external auditory canal, which can cause hearing loss and pain.
