aural calculus

Formed as a result of increased secretion of glands sulfur. It is composed of sulfur, sebum, skin flakes lowered cholesterol. Normally they are removed movements of the front wall of the ear canal while talking, chewing. Stumble contribute to the narrowness and tortuosity of the auditory canal and increased viscosity of sulfur. Cerumen color from yellow to dark brown. Consistency initially soft, waxy, then dense and even rocky.
Tube can reach large sizes, but if there is at least narrow the gap between it and the wall of the ear canal, hearing remains normal. However, enough to get into the ear of a small amount of water, such as sulfur and suddenly swells dramatically reduced hearing, there is a feeling of fullness, sometimes noise in the ear. Cork can exert pressure on the eardrum and cause reflex headache, golovokruzhe2nie, cough, nausea.
Recognition is based on complaints, ear examination.
The plug is washed with warm water. Before you do this, you must make sure that previously there was no ear suppuration ie, that the integrity of the membrane is not broken.
In such cases the cork is removed by means of special tools. Rinsing should be done with warm water (37 C ±) so as not to cause dizziness, nausea. The jet from the syringe is guided along the rear wall of the ear canal by pulling the outer ear backwards and upwards.
When sufficient force jet tube washed whole or in part. Then dried ear with a cotton wick. If the procedure did not produce tangible results, the sulfur soften burying or alkaline drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.
To prevent the formation of traffic jams should not remove sulfur pins, the tip of the folded towel, as this cerumen is pushed deeper into the ear canal. Furthermore, the use of sharp objects may cause injury and the membrane wall of the auditory meatus.
