The patient’s external ear canal is filled with gray, black, or white patches with filaments of fungal spores that look like patches. These patches have a very unpleasant smell.
The Medical Examination Department at the request of the Central Hospital for Otolaryngology has just accepted a male TVA patient (30 years old, resident of Tay Ho, Hanoi) in a state of heavy feeling, full of pressure and hearing loss.
A. shared, at first, he felt itching in his ear canal. The increasing itching sensation causes patients to constantly pinch their ears, and more itch when itching. After 1-2 days, you begin to experience an earache, increasing pain when chewing or yawning.
When A. did not see that his hearing had deteriorated greatly, he went to the hospital. After careful examination, doctors concluded that the patient had a fungal ear canal.
Consequently, many flakes and debris form on the external auditory canal and the edge of the patient’s ear. The external ear canal is filled with gray, black, or white markings.
By looking at the top of these plates, the doctor discovered that the mycelial spore growths looked like a cluster of seedlings. These patches have a very unpleasant smell.
Taking advantage of the medical history, the male patient said that he used to go to the bar to get a haircut at the bar because he felt it was very comfortable. A. stick with this habit for many years without realizing it could make you sick.

It is known that, immediately after diagnosing the disease, the doctor removed a part of the plaque from the patient’s ear, took it for a new examination and cultured it to identify the fungus that causes the disease, thus giving an appropriate treatment regimen. After cleaning the ears, the patient is given an antifungal antibiotic.
Recently, the doctors at the Central Hospital for Ear, Nose and Throat receive many similar cases from patient A.
There are cases in which the examination has filled the ear canal with wax. The reason is that when the wax is wet, the patient takes a cotton swab and accidentally pushes the wax into the ear canal, causing a blockage.
Even in some cases, doctors have to drive for a few days, using specialized tools to pull out little by little in order to remove all long-blocked earwax.
Doctors recommend that cerumen is the protective layer of hearing that prevents the entry of bacteria. This membrane does not normally need to be removed, but due to the mechanism of the ear canal it can fall off on its own.
People do not take earwax arbitrarily (whether wet or dry) because it easily causes dangerous consequences for hearing. If necessary, go to the hospital to examine it and seek the support of a specialist.
