Lipids were extracted from "wet" cerumen and analyzed by quantitative thin-layer chromatography to determine their composition. The lipid fraction comprised 52% of the dry weight of cerumen and consisted of squalene (6.4%), cholesterol esters (9.6%), wax esters (9.3%), triacylglycerols (3.0%), fatty acids (22.7%), cholesterol (20.9%), ceramides (18.6%),

Cerumen Impaction in the Elderly
Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 19951. Cerumen impaction is a reversible cause of conduction hearing loss in the elderly. 2. Risk factors include ear canal hairs, hearing aids, bony growths secondary to osteophyte or osteoma, and a history of impacted cerumen. 3. Cerumen removal can cause damage to the external auditory meatus, perforation of the tympanic membrane, and/or otitis media. 4.

Survey of Audiologists and Cerumen Management
American Journal of Audiology, 2013Purpose Cerumen management (CM) is within the scope of practice of audiology, and the Doctor of Audiology (AuD) is now the entry-level degree for persons practicing the profession. However, little recent information is available about whether and how CM is presently being taught in AuD programs or even if and how audiologists ...

Bactericidal Activity of Wet Cerumen
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1984The viable populations of seven species of bacteria were reduced 17% to 99% by treatment with a 3% suspension of human cerumen of the soft or “wet” type. Species tested for susceptibility to cerumen were Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Cerumen Impaction in Patients with Schizophrenia
Clinical Schizophrenia & Related Psychoses, 2014Cerumen impaction may cause hearing loss and pain. We investigated the prevalence of cerumen impaction in a population of outpatients with schizophrenia spectrum psychoses and studied factors contributing to it. As a part of our study--"The Living Conditions and Physical Health of Outpatients with Schizophrenia"--we performed a thorough medical ...

Cerumen impaction represents the most common otologic problem encountered by physicians. It can affect up to 6% of the general population and a much higher percentage in the mentally retarded population. Cerumen is a mixture of secretory products of two glands in the external auditory canal where it serves a protective function.

The dimorphism in human normal cerumen*
Annals of Human Genetics, 1962SummaryVarious aspects of the dimorphism in human cerumen have been described on the basis of the data collected mostly by Japanese investigators. It was shown that the ear‐wax types are apparently determined by a simple genetic mechanism, and can be used as a polymorphic system for both genetics and anthropology. Frequencies of the alleles for the ear‐
