    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesteatoma

    The removal of the ear canal wall results in: a space, the "mastoid cavity", which is less likely than the original ear canal to resist infection; exposure of the ossicles, which may allow the subsequent formation of a new cholesteatoma deep to the ossicles. To prevent this, these ossicles must be removed, which may diminish the patient's hearing.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfer's_ear

    Surfer's ear is the common name for an exostosis or abnormal bone growth within the ear canal. They are otherwise benign hyperplasias (growths) of the tympanic bone thought to be caused by frequent cold-water exposure. [1] Cases are often asymptomatic.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastoidectomy

    A mastoidectomy is a procedure performed to remove the mastoid air cells [1] near the middle ear. The procedure is part of the treatment for mastoiditis, chronic suppurative otitis media or cholesteatoma. [2] Additionally, it is sometimes performed as part of other procedures, such as cochlear implants, [3] or to access the middle ear.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otitis

    In otitis media, the ear is infected or clogged with fluid behind the ear drum, in the normally air-filled middle-ear space. This is the most common infection and very common in babies younger than 6 months. This condition sometimes requires a surgical procedure called myringotomy and tube insertion. Otitis interna, or labyrinthitis, involves ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratosis_obturans

    Canaloplasty, where the ear canal is widened using grafts, was first proposed as the treatment for keratois obturans. However, with the migration of keratin within the canal, any amount of widening could not restore the migration of skin. Reconstruction of the bony canal with cartilage graft from temporalis fascia has showed some results. [6]

  7. Labyrinthitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinthitis

    The most common symptom of vestibular neuritis is the onset of vertigo that has formed from an ongoing infection or trauma. [9] The dizziness sensation that is associated with vertigo is thought to be from the inner ear labyrinth. [10] Rapid and undesired eye motion often results from the improper indication of rotational motion.

  8. Ear pain - Wikipedia

    Reactivation can produce pain and visible vesicles within the ear canal and, when combined with facial paralysis due to facial nerve involvement, is called Ramsay Hunt syndrome. [22] Tumors: the most common ear canal tumor is squamous cell carcinoma. Symptoms can resemble those of otitis externa, and cancer should be considered if the symptoms ...

  9. Endolymphatic hydrops - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endolymphatic_hydrops

    Endolymphatic hydrops is a disorder of the inner ear. It consists of an excessive build-up of the endolymph fluid, which fills the hearing and balance structures of the inner ear. Endolymph fluid, which is partly regulated by the endolymph sac, flows through the inner ear and is critical to the function of all sensory cells in the inner ear.
