  • Title: Managing cerumen impaction.
    Author: Meyers AD.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1977 Jul; 62(1):207-9. PubMed ID: 876904.
    Abstract:
    The external auditory canal is self-cleaning. Excessive cerumen accumulation usually results from misguided attempts to remove wax and may go unnoticed until a hearing loss occurs. Mechanical removal of the wax or use of a ceruminolytic agent to soften it is recommended--irrigation may contaminate the middle ear space.
