    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Audiology
    • Pediatric Medicine

    Background:

    • External ear canal collapse due to earphone pressure is a known issue.
    • Previous literature has discussed this phenomenon over the last 20 years.
    • Understanding the impact of wearable technology on auditory health is crucial.

    Observation:

    • A specific case of external ear canal collapse in a pediatric patient is presented.
    • The collapse was attributed to prolonged pressure from earphones.
    • Clinical presentation and audiological assessment were performed.

    Findings:

    • Impedance audiometry proved to be a valuable diagnostic tool.
    • This method effectively identified and assessed the degree of ear canal collapse.
    • Audiological data supported the clinical diagnosis.
