Are The White Residues And Tiny White Line Seen In My Ear?

hello :) First lets just say I don t have any problems with hearing or my ears. I was born with producing a little more earvax than normal, so I keep good ear hygiene with sometimes natural salt ear cleaning from the pharmacy which keeps the earwax away or in normal amounts. I bought a earspoke a few years back to keep track of my ears and see if everything is normal. I took these pictures - could you explain if everythung looks normal and explain the questions on the image file? Prior to the earscope pictures I had worn earplugs for about 2 hours because of music - so there could be some moisture built of which maybe could make the white stuff in the ears. questions: left ear: What are these white residue I see on the image ? - I think I have seen these when the ears get wet - think I have read something about calcium or something. is this normal ? right ear - looks like a tiny white line - could this be a hair or just a normal artifact ? best regards
