After cerumen impaction removal, the ear can usually recover immediately. If there is damage to the external ear canal or perforation of the tympanic membrane, the recovery time will be longer and cannot be generalized. Cerumen impaction is a disease caused by excessive secretion of cerumen, blocking the external ear canal, which can be caused by excessive secretion of cerumen or obstruction of cerumen discharge. The main symptoms may include itching of the ear canal, stuffiness in the ear, and hearing loss. Clinical treatments mainly include cerumen hook removal, warm saline rinsing after softening cerumen, or suction. After cerumen impaction is removed, the prognosis is generally good, the stuffiness in the ear basically disappears, and the hearing can be restored to normal. However, if there are concurrent infections, damage to the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane, etc., hearing may not recover immediately after cerumen impaction removal. Infections should be treated promptly with anti-infective therapy; if it leads to tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment such as tympanic membrane repair can be used if it cannot heal by itself in 3 months. If cerumen impaction occurs, you should go to the hospital in time, actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment plan, and follow the doctor’s instructions.
