What Do White Particles In Ear Indicate?

I brought home an otoscope from work and looked in my sons ear, he has had no complaints of dizziness or eat aches I just wanted to look in it. In one of his ears are Tiny white looking rocks that look soft. Of course they are to far down to rinse out. What is this and are there images of others to compare too?

Hi,

This could be just wax. Please donot fiddle with it. Rough and improper handling might damage tympanic membrane. In case there are no problems, it is advised to leave it undisputed. If case of any complaints or problem would advise you to visit an ENT Doctor.

Take care.

Best regards,
