FIELD: medicine; medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves introducing funnel with its narrow end into external acoustic meatus, setting fire to the opposite end and holding the funnel at an angle of 45 deg in the external acoustic meatus until it burns down to foil level. The rest of funnel is withdrawn. One more funnel is introduced into the same ear and burnt down. Then the other ear is treated in the same manner. Burning time of one funnel is equal to 10-12 min. The treatment course is 2-4 procedures long. The procedures are administered every other day.
