| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Cerumen removal can be aided by gentle irrigation of the external auditory canal with warm water or a hydrogen peroxide and water solution. Avoid the use of cotton-tipped applicators for cerumen removal, because they can push the cerumen back into the ear canal and cause an impaction. Hairpins or similar devices should never be used. A forceful stream of solution should not be used during this procedure because it can cause perforation of the eardrum. | ||
