External Auditory Canal Dimensions, Age, and Cerumen Retention or Impaction in Persons With Down Syndrome.
CONCLUSION: There is a high prevalence of cerumen retention/impaction in persons with DS compared to the general Philippine population and a higher prevalence rate for EAC stenosis than elsewhere. A canal diameter of 4 mm and below and age 1 year or less are associated with a significantly higher likelihood of cerumen retention/impaction.
