Cerumen embolism
The skin of the cartilaginous part of the external auditory canal has cerumen glands, which secrete a light yellow viscous liquid called cerumen. Some cerumen is like mucus, commonly known as "greasy ears". Under normal circumstances, cerumen can be discharged in the form of thin flakes by chewing, opening the mouth and other jaw movements. If cerumen gradually condenses into a mass and blocks the external auditory canal, it is called impacted cerumen.
