The internal auditory canal (lat. meatus acusticus externus, pna; bna; jna) is a canal that connects the tympanic cavity of the middle ear with the external environment. It is located in the pyramids of the temporal bones and serves to remove fluid from the middle ear.
The auditory canal consists of three main parts: the external auditory canal, the middle ear and the inner ear. The external auditory canal is located on the outside of the auricle and is about 3.5 cm long. It is covered by skin and contains cerumen glands that produce sulfur. The middle part of the auditory canal is located in the pyramid of the temporal bone and has a length of up to 1.5 cm. It contains the eardrum, which separates the middle ear from the external environment. The inner part of the ear canal is located in a pyramid and has a length of 1-2 mm. It leads to the inner ear, which is responsible for hearing and balance.
Various diseases can occur in the ear canal, such as wax plugs, infections, injuries or tumors. Treatment for these conditions may include the use of special drops, irrigation of the ear canal, or surgery.
An important aspect of ear canal health is regular wax removal. To do this, you can use special drops that help remove wax from the ear canal. It is also recommended to avoid getting water into the ear canal as this can lead to infection.
If you notice any changes in your ear canal, such as pain, noise, or discharge, consult your doctor. He will be able to diagnose and prescribe the necessary treatment.
