Another issue is There is minimal erythema of the incus of the right drum.  However, it doesn't sound like incus...sounds like she is saying enos.  Not stumbling over the dictation, but just doesn't sound like incus.  Thanks!

Speaking of ears clogged with cerumen, are there
Subject: Speaking of ears clogged with cerumen, are there

any ENT MTs who know if there is another product, other than Debrox, or Cerumenix (which was by RX only, but discontinued) to remove chronic earwax, other than going to the ENT to have them irrigated and removed with a curette?


I can't seem to find any drug on the market; prescription or otherwise, other than those mentioned above, which were of no benefit.


Your help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
