Question
A man has a single transparent white hair growing 1 cm long on each of his two ears, not noticeable upon regular viewing, but it bothers his wife. Is there a concern of 'do not wear' in removing the hair?
Answer
Shalom Rav
There is a prohibition of 'do not wear' in this case.
There is no permission except in a case of disgrace. In your case, since it is not noticeable, there is no disgrace.
