| Earwax, or cerumen, consists of saturated, long-chain fatty acids and is presumably high in energy. |
|
| Diabetes mellitus is also associated with impaired polymorphonuclear cell function and a higher pH of cerumen in the aural canal. |
|
| Leading causes of conductive hearing loss include cerumen impaction, otitis media, and otosclerosis. |
|
| In these cases, the external auditory canal lacks cerumen and is lined by dry, hypertrophic skin with variable swelling and stenosis. |
|
| Patients were excluded if their auditory canals were obstructed with cerumen or if they had contraindications to rectal or ear temperatures. |
|
| The only trend noted was a higher success rate if the cerumen was considered to be soft rather than hard or mixed. |
|
| An otoscope should be used to examine the external auditory canal for cerumen, foreign bodies, and abnormalities of the canal skin. |
|
| There are many precipitants of this infection, but the most common is excessive moisture that elevates the pH and removes the cerumen. |
|
| I do not use the docusate calcium solution for anything but removing cerumen. |
|
| Cerumen removal is essential for visualization of the tympanic membrane, and some type of curette should be used to remove cerumen. |
|
| The most common causes of hearing loss are aging, viral infection, exposure to loud sounds and impacted cerumen or ear wax. |
|
| Impacted cerumen causes problems for some 2.3 million people in the UK, leading to about four million ears being syringed each year. |
|
| Various methods are used to remove cerumen, including irrigation, suction, and manual removal with a curette. |
|
| To remove cerumen from the thin tube: Pull tube out of the hearing instrument. |
|
| Psychiatric disorders, motion sickness, serous otitis media, cerumen impaction, herpes zoster, and seizure disorders also can present with dizziness. |
|
| But there might be a biological reason for the decline: a buildup of cerumen, or earwax, on the speakers. |
|
| Fine hairs directed outward and modified sweat glands that produce earwax, or cerumen, line the canal and discourage insects from entering it. |
|
| Exostoses and osteomas are benign bony growths of the external auditory canal that interfere with normal cerumen migration, leading to occlusion and conductive hearing loss. |
|
| Excess cerumen in the external ear canal commonly causes hearing loss and vertigo, contributes to infection and obscures visualization of the tympanic membrane. |
|
| Crying, removal of cerumen with associated irritation of the auditory canal and fever can all cause redness of the eardrum in the absence of middle ear infection. |
|
|
|
| Good otoscopic illumination, cerumen removal and attention to the position and mobility of the tympanic membrane are important for an accurate diagnosis. |
|
| Occasionally, cerumen is produced in excessive amounts and partially or totally occludes the ear canal. |
|
| We once again reviewed methods of preventing cerumen build-up. |
|
| Any item entering the ear canal: Insert earphone, impedance probe tips, curettes and other cerumen equipment, otoscope tips, probe tubes. |
|
| Waste that is contaminated with blood, ear drainage or cerumen containing blood or ear drainage, can be placed in the regular waste receptacles. |
|
| A method of preparing sea water for the removal of cerumen, characterised in that it consists successively in separating solid particles from a sample 1 of sea water followed by sterilisation. |
|
| This device is easy to use and will be a timesaver for the treatment of residents with impacted cerumen. |
|
| This device is easy to learn and use and will be a timesaver for the treatment of patients with impacted cerumen. |
|
| The colour and viscosity of cerumen, however, makes it difficult to detect the presence of such bodily fluids, particularly if the material is clear like mucous or dark-coloured like dried blood. |
|
| In daily hygiene to evacuate the excess of cerumen and the impurities. |
|
| Without knowing it, you may have a cerumen impaction and it is possible that under the action of Audispray this impaction swells causing discomfort. |
|
| Among the possible causes for this are impacted cerumen, labyrinthitis, otosclerosis, hysteria, and overdose of drugs such as quinine. |
|
| The purpose of the ear curette is to remove cerumen from the ear canal to overcome hearing impairment and to keep the ear canals clean. |
|
| Earwax, scientifically known as cerumen, is a mixture of secretions from specialized sweat glands with fatty materials secreted from sebaceous glands. |
|
| Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, is the most common cause of acquired hearing loss, with noise, otitis and cerumen impaction representing other common causes. |
|
| Cerumen is ear wax produced by glands in the outer ear canal, and its job is to clean, moisten and protect the canal. |
|
| Cerumen impaction is common and saliently affects well-being. |
