Is it expensive to treat cerumen impaction?

The cost of treating cerumen impaction generally varies depending on the difficulty of removal and the medications used. However, the cost for removing an impending impaction is not particularly high. Cerumen impaction occurs when ear canal secretions become blocked and form a large, hard mass in the external auditory canal. It commonly causes swelling and discomfort in the ear canal, and in severe cases may be accompanied by complications such as hearing loss, infection, and narrowing of the external auditory canal.
