Natural health: How can I stop a build-up of ear wax?

It is important to use a safe method of ear cleaning at home

I need to get my ears syringed almost every year. If I don't it affects my hearing. What can I do to stop the wax from building up in the first place?

Earwax (cerumen) production is dependent on several factors – narrow, curved, or hairy ear canals can all be issues when it comes to wax production and build-up. Diet, heredity, occupation, and ethnicity are also contributing factors.
