hi everybody my name is Rhys Barber I'm
the audiologist here at audiology
associates we upload new ear wax removal
videos every Monday Wednesday and Friday
at 9 p.m. UK time so please consider
subscribing hi everybody this is
Rhys Barber from audiology associates thank
you very much watching that you actually
more video today we've got one patient
in this video that's coming with ear wax in
both sides so you can see we've got this
initial front section is very wet so
this patient has been using some drops
some over-the-counter drops to try and
soften this up a little bit and we're
using the standard size on the tube here
first all just clearing away some of the
softer initial bits of ear wax here just
sucking those into the machine before we
move on to the harder pieces a bit
further in then so you can see it's all
coming away really nicely at the moment
I'm just concentrating on the bottom
section here because when you get this
soft ear wax what you want to do is try and
get rid of as much of that as you can
which will then give you a good
indication of where the harder ear wax then
starts we can get a good grip on so we
concentrate in the section mainly at the
bottom section here gravity gravity even
so it naturally pulls ear wax down to the
lowest point so it's always gonna stick
at the lowest point of the ear canal you
know you can see it would just very
slowly chipping this away obviously with
the the suction tube here that's
attached to a little pump and it also it
has a little collection pot as well so
all this softer deborah you see here
will end up in the in little collection
pot oh yeah we're just starting to see
some movement now as we get into the
harder pieces of ear wax you can see where
we kind of undercut all that softer ear wax
there and got to the heart of it behind
now so that's just starting to move I
hope you're all doing well guys I know
it's a tough time for everybody out
there at the moment you know everywhere
UK and everywhere else as well it's just
not on the easiest of times please stay
at home please keep yourself safe okay
and look after both yourselves I'm one
another guys if you possibly can okay
what we can see how we got a good
upon this large a piece of ear wax that was
sitting at the back the slightly harder
piece so we're just trying to get a
really good grip to pull this out and
trying to find as you can see as we're
trying to pull it it's actually breaking
in little bits away which you're getting
sucked into the suction tube so
difficult to get a really good grip on
this top section I'm trying to find a
piece that's hard enough that stays
together when we get a hold on it
and there we go so we'll take that piece
there we are you can see it's quite a
large chunk now obviously when we take
this ear wax away you can see the difference
in the ear wax that the ear wax at the entrance
to the ear canal the the part the ear canal were
that the drops would have touched very
very soft almost liquid in places but
those deeper sections of ear wax where the
drops wouldn't have got down to it's
still stayed quite hard textbook ear
drum absolutely perfect they're lovely
like reflux Howell and looking good so
the key now - you will see that there is
a gap above this ear wax so they see your
ear canals not completely full at the moment
but patient wanted it cleared out so you
can see we've just got this very very
soft section drops being used here as
well look at the difference in the
consistency you see where the drops are
touched it so looking at this I would
say that this is probably more of a sort
of a bicarb or peroxide use rather than
olive oil with all the value 10 to find
that the ear wax itself stays quite intact
but softens round the edges it doesn't
tend to go this more liquid type of ear wax
that you see here so it might be had a
good grip on that section and we're just
pulling this away brought that deeper
section with it there we are so that's
the piece from this left ear and we'll
take a good look at the eardrum then
let's take a look and you can see
there's no like reflux so there are a
couple of little outlines of air bubbles
on the eardrum as well so a little bit
of middle ear fluid going on here which
is explains the absence the lake reflux
so we're all just over half an inch
there centimeter and a half as well take
care everybody and I shall see you on
Wednesday
