Abstract
Hearing aids are becoming more popular as the elderly population grows, but complications related to their use are also increasing. We present a rare case where an ear mold impression entered the mastoid cavity during fitting, causing delayed inflammation about 10 years later. Unlike most reported cases, this patient did not experience immediate symptoms during the impression-making process. Our case highlights the importance of thorough physical examination by an otolaryngologist, including assessment of the tympanic membrane and external auditory canal, when fitting hearing aids to prevent similar complications.
