What Causes White Object Blocking The Ear?
My son has something white in his ear and he can t hear. Not painful. He s not the type to stick a foreign object in it. We ve used the oil and plunger to flush it out but no luck. It s still there. He keeps wanting it to pop but there s a blockage. What can I do?

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having otomycosis i.e. fungal infection in external ear producing white patch covering ear drum and might have produced less hearing.
Put anti -fungal drops for few days.
Avoid entering water while taking bath.
Clean the ear dry after shower.
Ok and take care.
