Abstract
In this study which was achieved at Izmir Bozyaka Teaching and Research Hospital, identifying the sensitivity and reliability of round window electrocochleographic records on children during cochlear implantation and investigating the applicability of the method on particularly problematic patient groups was aimed
Highlights
Major studies on health of prison inmates were undertaken in developed countries but there is paucity of data on health of prisoners in the developing world [1]
Wax impaction showed no preponderance between the inmates and the general population
Those with impacted wax in their ear canals had it removed by either manual or by gentle ear syringing after applying some cerumenolytic agents
Summary
Major studies on health of prison inmates were undertaken in developed countries but there is paucity of data on health of prisoners in the developing world [1]. Excessive secretion of ceruminous glands, narrow external auditory canal may result in the accumulation of wax (Cerumen) which may give rise to symptoms of discomfort, ear fullness, itchiness of the ears, tinnitus, and variable degrees of hearing loss [2,3]. Other symptoms associated with wax impaction are tinnitus, aural fullness, and hearing loss [5]. There is paucity of data in the English literature about the ear health of prison inmates comparison with the global community will be difficult. We aimed to determine the prevalence and pattern of wax impaction among prison inmates of the Kaduna convict prison.
