In recent years, a number of people have encountered some form of otitis externa due, it was suspected, to the use of acrylic ear moulds. The intention of this study was to discover whether the reaction was purely allergic or if it was due to various other causes. Having eliminated reactions due to ill-fitting ear moulds, friction sores or lack of hygiene, a study of 25 people with ear mould problems was carried out. These consisted of three groups; those who had no other ear or skin trouble, those who had existing otitis externa and/or other skin trouble, and those who suffered with ear infections or were prone to ear infections. A sample of the population who did not wear hearing aids was taken as a control.
近年来，一些人疑似因使用丙烯酸耳模而患上某种形式的外耳道炎。本研究的目的是确定这种反应是纯粹的过敏反应，还是由其他各种原因引起的。在排除了因耳模不合适、摩擦性溃疡或卫生条件差导致的反应后，对25名有耳模问题的人进行了研究。这些人分为三组：没有其他耳部或皮肤问题的人；患有外耳道炎和/或其他皮肤问题的人；患有耳部感染或易患耳部感染的人。选取一组不佩戴助听器的人群作为对照。
