usually wax is formed in every person as this is protective for ears
in 90 % cases the external auditory canal is inclining direction and the wax automatically drains out but in 10% people it is straight and the wax accumulates in canal
in that you have to remove wax after 4- 6 months
no side efect of suction you require this and there are many persones who require
