Noncancerous tumors. Noncancerous tumors may develop in the ear canal, blocking it and causing hearing loss and a buildup of earwax. Exostoses occur in people who swim in cold water, such as scuba divers and surfers. Surfer's ear is a common term for bony exostosis in the ear canal. The most effective treatment for these noncancerous bony tumors is surgical removal. After treatment, hearing usually returns to normal.

At any rate, one standard bar of gold is roughly the size of a small brick and weighs pretty close to 30 pounds. But you can buy âbarsâ of gold in a multitude of âstandardâ sizes, really. Which size can you afford? is probably a better question.
