Impacted cerumen – Your ears produce earwax, also called cerumen, which helps in the natural cleaning and
lubrication of the ears. However, when the wax gets pushed towards the eardrums, it becomes impacted and
accumulates inside the ear.
Otitis media – also known as acute otitis media or AOM, it is an infection or swelling of the middle ear, which
is just behind the eardrum, when mucus is trapped inside.
Otitis externa – this refers to infection in the outer canal of the outer ear. This condition is also commonly
known as swimmer’s ear. It is common among children who are usually exposed in high-moisture
environments, especially in warm climates.
Example/s:
Ana used cotton buds to clean or to remove her earwax, but she accidentally pushes it inside towards her
eardrum. She needs a doctor to remove her impacted cerumen, to avoid partial loss of hearing and infections.
