Impacted Dark Brown Soft Cerumen

Description : In this case you can observe that a mixture of dark brown wax and hairs has been pushed onto the tympanic membrane and has become impacted.

Since cerumen is produced only in the outer (cartilaginous) canal, impaction deep within the bony canal as it is seen here is usually caused by cotton tipped swabs or other forms of manipulation.
