subscribing hi everybody this is Rhŷs
barber from audiology associates another
trip down memory lane for us today two
patients in this compilation first ones
come in with a pathway hearing aids
stuck in you it's a little soft rubber
tip that fits onto the end of a hearing
aid you can see it a really wedged
itself down inside there so we use the
crocodile forceps to pull that out so
I'll just show you a bit more of a
closer so you can see as we grip that
centre section there with the crocodile
for set and then pull this away you can
see it slowly pulling out to the ear canal
there we go and out it pops because he
was really really wedged only until you
ear canal and they don't have them too often
taking these out to be honest it's the
or the others don't stay on quite firmly
but in some cases they do pop off into
the ear canal so this is our second
patient in the compilation and what you
can see here is we've got some very
thick sticky ear wax sitting about 1/3 of
the way into the ear canal here so just
using the standard size on the tube here
slowly pulling this out just very slowly
working my way down to this at the
moment yeah you can see it's kind of
soft around the edges obviously a little
bit of softening drops have been used in
here by the patient but looks of it
because the the ear wax is very kind of
sticky but wet at the at the at the
entrance of the the hearing aid there at
the ear canal they sorry slowly trying
to work around the outside edge here oh
there we are trying to pull it away from
the ear canal wall you just start to see the
the pinkie kind of lighter colour of the
ear canal there as we start pulling this
away just sticking to that right hand
ear canal wall a little bit sorry I don't
watch these videos in advance I trained
voice it over as I'm watching it
I only work out what I was doing here so
it looks like I'm trying to peel away
the right can have wall there there we
go
started to peel away even though for the
bottom you see I'm slowly working my way
around this but all that would start to
get a little bit of movement there so
the whole thing just start to move there
we go you can really start to see it go
now so it's detached itself on that
right ear canal wall let's see if we can get
a good grip on this now so aim in there
for the centre well couldn't quite get
the grip looks like it's all there are
jobs in horn going in over the top yes
general working are we down the side of
this block of ear wax it's quite sticky ass
pushed into the middle there looks like
it's got harder outer edge though but
looks of this as it's working down
she'll try to get all over that front
section there okay it's taking away the
front bit it's gonna pushed it flat
though unfortunately trying to get I'm
breaking some of this away here okay
that's that front section gone away
there I would probably have aimed a
little bit further back now it comes
with confidence though and here we go
there we can see that here we go there's
the gap so if we can get through the gap
there we are starting to pull down now
I've lost the visual there we go
so just pulling forwards on this getting
behind that block slowly working this
down there we are that's a little plug
there there's a little bit more in there
there is a gap there to the left-hand
side so we'll go in there and imagine
this there we go lovely let's take that
bit away there and one last bit so you
can get over the top of that last
section there try and push this down not
quite here we go so all starting to come
away nicely there now not too much more
left what was crashed into it then there
we go lovely look
the top of the ear wax we can see they were nice
and clear behind it it's just a little
little tiny bit there to the right hand
ear canal wall actually see the eardrum
there further into the left like that
bluish purple colour that's the that's
the eardrum and this last little bits
coming away you can see the eardrum
looking really good that you can
actually see the hammer bone there the
eardrum so still just hoovering the last
little bit up it's always a bit more
effective usually no small bits there to
Hoover it up right oh there we go a
little bit of dry skin at the base of
that but when we going for the eardrum
shot on this one up great this is when
we started with you from shots here you
go so you can see either looking nice
and healthy good light reflex on there
