I own a cross-question something like something I saw surrounded by my daughter's ear - growth, ear anatomy, etc? Doctors guidance needed?

Ok, I am a nurse and work in a doctor's office. I was up here on Saturday doing some work and my daughter who had complained a few times about not being competent to hear out of her left ear started about it again. So I got one of the doctor's otoscope and took a look. I saw a pallid (like fatty tissue) and it was covering most of her eardrum. I looked in the other ear and didnt see anything similar. I looked back and after noticed that this yellow thing have tiny red blood vessels through it. So is there maybe some ear anatomy that I saw or no. Im going to nick her to be seen but not so sure she can be seen tomorrow due to 1st day of college, cheerleading practice, & by then the office being closed.

Possibly it is ear wax build up. I would take her to the ENT.
Here are a few suggestions:
esteatoma is skin cells that grow surrounded by the wrong places in the middle ear and mastoid. Less commonly, it can invade the inner ear, brain, or any other structure of the ear area/brain. As the skin mass expands, it can destroy anything in its footprints. Infection often accompanies a cholesteatoma. The ossicles (ear bones) are often destroyed by even the smallest cholesteatoma. These piles are not cancerous but must be removed to prevent the ear from being severely damaged.

An acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor of the set off nerve between the inner ear and the brain. It grows very slowly. It can cause vertigo (dizziness), audible range loss, and loss of function of the facial nerve. It causes its damage by local enlargement beside destruction of the structures it presses against. It is especially noted for creating a loss in understanding ability (discrimination) of the ear explicitly significantly worse than the actual hearing loss. When hearing loss is not equal between the two ears (unless there is a specified reason for this), an acoustic neuroma should be suspected. An MRI scan enhanced with gadolinium is the trial most often used to diagnose an acoustic neuroma. If diagnosed when tiny, it may be observed or removed surgically depending on its size at the time of diagnosis and the age of the patient. Larger tumors should unanimously be removed surgically. This is generally done by a neurotologist with or without the assistance of a neurosurgeon. Source(s): www.facialcarecenter.com/eardisease
wax ear. make candles.
The director is symmetrical. Like the eyes, both ears should look virtually the same.
ne can tell you what it is without seeing her. Since this have been complaining the hearing loss for a while, she is not having aching, trouble breathing, loss of consciousness, etc you can probably make a routine appointment. If you are more concerned go to the emergency room.

I am an RN.
I'm not completely familiar with ear diseases, but when I was contained by jr high I started having trouble hearing out of one ear and my mom freaked out and when I get to the pediatrician's office it was a build up of ear wax. He gave me some ear drops and it go away. Since what you saw is yellow, I would think of that first before some sporadic disease. You may be seeing the blood vessels through the wax. If you're worried about it you could go to one of those saunter in clinics like at the grocery store or cvs/walgreens. They might be able to alleviate your worries.
