Hi! Sorry in advance about the grossness of this post! I was wondering if it would be possible to unblock or clean a person's ears by beaming a laser into them? Blocked ears are very common and at the moment the standard treatment is to syringe them with water which is a bit uncomfortable and probably not very appropriate for repeated use. I believe the melting point of earwax should be around 45 degrees Celsius and the burning point of human skin is around 55 degrees Celsius so this should mean that it would be reasonably safe to do using a hot laser. If the patient lay on their side gravity would pull the loose, melted wax out.
Also, is there a frequency of laser that could perhaps break up the wax without relying on heat?
