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.
No, a bar of gold (like the ones at Fort Knox) weights roughly 400 troy ounces, or about 27.5 pounds.
Each bar contains 1 kilo (32.15 oz) of pure (.9999 fine gold) 24 karat gold. Kilo bars are an exceptionally convenient way of storing gold bullion. A 1 kilo bar is roughly the same size as an iPhone. If you're serious about owning raw gold, there's no better way to do it.
