subscribing hi everybody my name is Rhys
barber I'm the audiologist here at
audiology associates thank you very much
watching that you ear wax removal
compilation video apologies for not
uploading on Monday I had an emergency
about with other dentists so I couldn't
I couldn't get a video done in time but
we're doing this video today you can see
we've got a patient here very blocked up
on one side very soft ear wax here just
trying to unstick the ear wax from the side
of the ear canal wall first of all you can
see we've got the standard size on the
tubing here very soft and sticky ear wax
this one trying to get a little bit of
purchase on this ear wax try to pull down
from the top here to unstick it from the
roof so up in the attic region of the
ear canal there I want you to get a grip
here and there but you can see that it's
really quite firmly stuck onto this
ear canal wall here there's a little bit of
striation to the bottom left corner
there that looks like a little bit of
dry skin that's probably anchored this
in place but I starting to get a little
bit of movement here now adopting a
little bit of wiggle at the top making
these more circular movements here just
to pull this away you can see now we're
starting to see this ribbon of skin
pulling out now that from the ear wax itself
the girl just started attached away
that's the first piece gone so you can
see what was holding this in way it just
wasn't unsticking from that ear canal
particularly well now we can get to the
section behind that now so just working
along this one corner first you can see
it's quite firmly wedged in there it's
quite pushed up against both ear canal walls
we're going to introduce a little bit of
olive oil if you've seen our videos
before you know we introduced bit of
olive oil if the ear wax is particularly
sticky or if we've got quite a large
piece that needs to slide across this
ear canal walls a little bit more
effectively the effect the olive oil has
on this watch it's pretty instantaneous
so you can see that it really softens
loosens that ear wax from the ear canal there we
go
now we're starting to get a bit of
movement see it's just starting to
wiggle out now very slowly taking this
forwards as we're moving it back and
forth obviously the oil is working down
the side of this plug it's breaking away
just at the end there but I think we've
got enough of a grip just on the outside
edge so maybe we take this whole thing
now there you got another bit broke away
it's just starting to move out though
just trying to get a firmer grip really
good bit of wiggle now you can see we've
got a bend I've switched position with
the camera a little bit so you can see
here when I talk about pulling the ear wax
out especially was a long piece like
this you've got it out so far then you
hit that bowl of the ear canal so you have
to kind of move around then there we are
now you can see where I'm to pull it out
more straight there you go you can see
it was a fairly long piece that one
that's without the piece we've already
taken away you can see a little bit of
debris left top into the left-hand side
of the ear canal wall
this is a little bit of skin so this is
what's been into woven into that ear wax
there these long strips of skin that's
come away from the ear canal wall wait for
it there we go that's a bit gone now
we'll work on this top section here just
pulling down from the top of the ear canal
wall quick little tidy up to this left
side as well
you'll just drag in from deeper into the
outside part just to take that away
there's the eardrum look at a little bit
dull there's no Sheen to that to the
drum itself there no light reflex
probably due to just the position of the
eardrum in relation to the pressure of
the air behind it you can see the plugs
we took away from one ear canal there so
from a really difficult kind of sticky
ear wax to remove this one's a lot easier
they're not always as as sticky and
difficult to remove as the last one
so this one now patients already be
administering some other valves so this
isn't stuff we've put in this is what
the patient's be using to treat their
own ear wax standard says on the tube going
in here again you can see very soft at
the entrance this is a really good kind
of ear wax removal because it's soft around
the outside of the ear wax but that central
core of ear wax is still quite hard or has a
little bit more structure to it so you
get a good grip with a soft section on
the outside biting into the harder piece
you can see it comes away in one big
lovely big chunk there yeah I just got a
little bit tidying up to do the
right-hand side nice quick and easy one
to finish this video with just got a
little bit of dry skin there we go okay
and there we are there's the ear drum
you see the like reflex they're all just
under a centimeter and a half inches
hang on just over half an inch I'm gonna
go over there because it's easier oh
