The lipid fraction occupying about 20 to 30 per cent of the ceruminal volume was extracted by the fractionation method previously reported. The lipid fraction from the dry and wet types of cerumen collected from the Japanese children was further separated into several kinds of lipid component by silicic acid column chromatography. Identification of the respective lipid components was performed ...

In the past, the human earcanal has primarily been thought of as a passive conduit for sound. Several studies, reported here, explored evidence of how active the earcanal is. The "active earcanal" is conceptualized and aspects of it are viewed through three timeframes: jaw-induced canal change in seconds/minutes, cerumen production in weeks/months, and aging in years. The influence of each of t...

It is well known that rodents are especially susceptible to diseases of the inner ear. This condition is suspected clinically when head tilt, weight loss, and/or staggering gait develop. Physical examination may be difficult due to the length and small diameter of the external auditory canal; moreover, the ear canal is frequently filled with cerumen. We have recently had the opportunity to radi...

Hearing loss is a common problem that can occur at any age and makes verbal communication difficult. The ear is divided anatomically into three sections (external, middle, and inner), and pathology contributing to hearing loss may strike one or more sections. Hearing loss can be categorized as conductive, sensorineural, or both. Leading causes of conductive hearing loss include cerumen impactio...
