There are no stones in the ear. In everyday life, earwax is called “ear stones”, but it is not a stone in the true sense of the word. A buildup of cerumen in the external ear canal is likely to result in a cerumen impaction, which blocks the ear canal and has the appearance of a stone, causing the patient to lose his or her hearing. If a patient develops cerumen embolism, the situation will be improved by softening the cerumen with sodium bicarbonate ear drops and flushing it out with saline under the guidance of an ENT doctor. There will not be stones in the ear, but excessive cerumen secretion or abnormal drainage can easily lead to cerumen impaction, when cerumen impaction occurs, it is important to seek medical attention in a timely manner.
