Hearing loss can interfere with communication, affecting social, school, and work environments. be prevented by early detection management of hearing loss. Tuban is one the districts in East Java; case data was obtained on ear as a organ, namely otitis externa (25.56%). acute media (22.46%), cerumen obturation (16.15%), chronic suppurative (7.56%), sensorineural deafness (5.72%). The skills are...

BACKGROUND Ceruminous glands are modified apocrine glands, situated in the external auditory canal, that, together with sebaceous glands, produce cerumen, better known as ear wax. The neoplastic transformation of these structures is very rare and there have been few cases reported in the literature. CASE REPORT Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is one of the rarest tumors among benign tumors aris...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the opportunistic pathogen mostly implicated in folliculitis and acute otitis externa in pools and hot tubs. Nevertheless, infection risks remain poorly quantified. This paper reviews disease aetiologies and bacterial skin colonization science to advance dose-response theory development. Three model forms are identified for predicting disease likelihood from pathogen d...

Loss of hearing from accumulation of cerumen (ear wax) is a commonly seen problem. Treatment for this condition often involves use of a wax softening or dispersing agent (cerumenolytic) before syringing. A mini-review was undertaken to find out what is the best preparation to use before syringing to facilitate the procedure. Five databases were searched using subject searches combined with meth...
