Loose,

One of our pilot's wives had a very famous case here in the States of antibiotic given to doses far too high. It completely destroyed her balance mechanism, and her life. It was even covered on 60 Minutes several years ago. Very sad case.

I would think the ear wax case would be very easy to spot...just look in there ?
