Dr. Ronald Chin’s View On Exostoses

Exostoses is a noncancerous bone tumour. This is generally caused by repeated exposure to cold water or wind, leading to irritation. This disease is generally asymptomatic unless large. But usually, symptoms include hearing loss, cerumen impaction, and cerumen.

This is most commonly developed by teens and children. But it also has a high prevalence in the surfer population.

A CT scan or Audiogram is done to diagnose it. To treat this, the exostose is surgically removed.
