Hard lumps inside the ear can not be pulled out due to the accumulation of earwax for a long time to form ceruminous embolism, but also does not exclude the external ear canal exophytic osteoma and other conditions.
1. Cerumen impaction: The skin of the cartilage part of the external auditory canal has cerumen glands, which will secrete earwax. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will pile up into a mass to form cerumen impaction, and the hard cerumen impaction needs to be softened first, and then the cerumen will be removed, which can be removed in a reasonable way with the help of special instruments under the correct operation of a professional doctor at the ear-nose-throat department of a hospital.
2. Ectopic osteoma of the external auditory canal: if you find nodular or semi-circular elevations in the deep part of the external auditory canal, which are hard to touch, you should first consider ectopic osteoma. If the tumor is small and asymptomatic, there is no need to deal with it. If the enlargement of the tumor causes hearing loss, pain or infection of the outer or middle ear, surgical resection is feasible to reconstruct the external auditory canal.
If this happens, it is recommended to actively seek medical treatment, improve the examination, make a clear diagnosis, and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
