Otoliths are usually blocked cerumen clusters that may be painful to remove, depending on the nature of the clusters and other circumstances, so it is not possible to generalize.
Whether earwax removal is painful or not is generally related to the nature of the cerumen mass. If the cerumen mass is dense, large and hard, the patient may experience significant pain and discomfort; if the cerumen mass is small or loose, the patient’s pain and discomfort may be lessened during the removal process.
In addition, whether the earwax is painful or not is also related to the sensitivity of the patient. It is suggested that the patient can use ear drops by the doctor to dilute and soften the earwax, and then remove the earwax, and the pain situation may be improved.
The specific situation also needs the patient to go to the hospital for relevant examination, do not blindly clean up.
