A member asked:
How dangerous is calcium build up in the ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not at all: "calcium" in the ear takes two main forms: scarring in the tympanic membrane from old infections and injuries, and bony growths in the ear canal called exostoses that are usually caused by swimming in cold water. Neither generally requires any treatment.
