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 our ear wax
removal compilation video today so there
are four patients in this video the
first patients come through with some
irritation in the rear they can feel
that there's something in there that
needs to come away so you can see we've
got some very soft ear wax here so we're
using the standard sized Zollner tube so
we've got a nice wide end to be able to
Hoover a lot of this ear wax away so we're
just trim it and you can see it's quite
sticky around the edges so just lifting
pulling away from the corners just to
try and bring all the ear wax into the
centre of the ear canal detaching it from
the ear canal walls yes slowly come away
there with this softer stickier table
ear wax at this it's a little bit difficult
sometimes when you start and sticking
from one ear canal wall because you can
inadvertently push it up against it
another way it'll stick against the
opposing ear canal wall them so you can see
we're just really trained to loosen
slowly kind of move it off the ear canal
wall and back towards the cameras we're
slowly drawing it out to the ear canal
you can see just working our way down
the ear wax getting a grip on that the the
pieces innermost and pulling that out
here we go it's got a little tiny bit
little flap of skin this all just Hoover
that up area and there's the eardrum see
a couple of cloudy batches on there
that's quite normal as we get older the
skin of you can a skin of the eardrum
starts to thicken a little bit so you
get these white cloudy patches on there
so this is the second year for the same
patient so you can see very very wet
sticky ear wax on this side as well luckily
though it's staying in a nice big piece
so it's staying together quite nice that
sticky that it's actually boned itself
together so as we're drawing this out
there you go you can see it all stayed
out in one piece you can see that slight
gray area there to the center of the
eardrum that's thickened skin as well so
these are pieces we took out in both
sides so the first piece just under a
centimeter so altogether Oh
oh my gosh inches are not maybe forty
seven eighths of an inch if that's the
measurement and this is the second
patient now in the compilation so you
can see much much wet ear wax here looks
like it's a little bit of dry skin to
the top right corner of the ear canal as
well so we're just probably around the
outside edge first as we always do to
detach from the ear canal wall and you can
see that this skin is starting to pull
away here so we've got some loose skin
just to the right side which we're
detaching now it looks like all of this
ear wax is sitting on this kind of bed of
loose skin so I'm trying to hold on to
the skin there at the right side while
drawing it down the ear canal you can see
just detached a little bit this or broke
away so just grabbing the outer section
of the skin again see if we can get a
good grip on this good suction grip and
we've got a better chance that'll work
in that skin now ear wax it in one piece you
can see where the patients been using a
bit of olive oil so you can see that
just underneath it that layer they're
looking again for another piece of skin
to hold on to if you imagine the skin is
obviously going to hold together a lot
more effectively than the ear wax would this
soft kind of ear wax here is just gonna keep
getting sucked into the tube but if we
can hold onto the skin which has got a
little bit more structure to it it gives
us a better chance with sliding all this
open window you can see they brought it
all out with it we got a little bit of
olive oil at the base of the drum there
so this is the chunk of ear wax that we
removed so the Beast has stayed together
at the end there
so this is our third patient in the
compilation those were just over halfway
through you can see very very soft ear wax
here lots of sheen shine to the outside
of the ear wax so it's either going to be
over very hard or very wet ear wax patients
been using a little bit of olive oil so
chances are this is a wet ear wax as we go
in because the that the end of the ear wax
were working on there was is so closely
outer part of the ear canal camera has
to stay a little bit further back to
accommodate the tool was in this case
the suction tube which means where we're
right in the space with those ciliary
foam which is why these little hairs
poking into view every so often I can
see that the angle of the ear wax brings it
towards the left hand side of this
particular area ear canal so what I'm trying
to do is to work on the less I lift it
off there and straighten this ear wax out to
bring it out because if I just pull
straight at the moment that left is
gonna just butt up against the the
entrance to the ear canal war and it's not
going to come away very easily so we
have to go we have to move it round to
the right hand side we've got a better
chance of getting this out in one
straight piece you can see there's more
ear wax behind we can go in that little bit
deeper now there's a little flap of dry
skin there at the base of the of the ear wax
so I'll work on that bit first
here we're all getting while I'm just
working on this piece of ear wax I just want
to say a massive thank you to all the
people who subscribed to the channel to

fans and the most positive comment
section of every video I've ever seen on
YouTube so you guys are an absolute
dream keep up the good work we really do
appreciate it thank you so much
so after I praised you guys up for a
little bit we're going back to the ear wax
so what you can see here is the skin is
started to come away from the bottom end
of the ear wax it's all pulling away really
nicely and there we are nice big chunks
come away and there's the ear drum there
we can see the like great reflex to the
box
right corner see the Hamel and they're
all looking good so this is the same
patient but the second year now very
similar story on this side so there was
a little bit of a gap above the ear wax on
this one so what we're gonna do is just
get a grip on the bottom of this ear wax
know if it goes to form like the other
side then we may be able to lift it
because we've got a bit of space above
we can lift it we can really get the
wiggle going on this one then to try and
maneuver him at the edge a go there's
the wiggle so we just try to work this
one down into the front oh just broken
away there out it comes it's on its way
just very slowly maneuvering this up and
the idea is the wiggle up and down there
you go we've got it nice big piece there
all came out in one is the even we can
see with little dots of oil on the ear
drum there so these are the pieces that
we most you can see it's quite quite
long pieces with centimeter and a half
they're three quarters of an inch so
quite big pieces so we're on our last
patient of this compilation very very
dry ear wax very irritated ears this
patient came through with not so much of
a hearing issue more just feeling that
there was something moving in there with
chewing and yawning and things like that
so we've got the standard size zoellner
tube here as with one of the videos you
saw it you can see that the angle if
this ear wax is actually going to hit the
outer part of your now if we try and
pull it straight so what we're gonna do
is two things detach from the ear canal wall
which is what we're aiming to do at the
moment there you go so that just lifts
from the ear canal wall we've got some
movement it straightened the ear wax so
we're gonna get a grip on it now and
tray wiggle it up and down get it past
that right section of skin there you see
so we gotta go round the corner and out
and there's the eardrum looking lovely
and healthy on that side same patient
now second you can see all these tiny
little hairs embedded in there you
Technica's a lot of people especially
gentleman with very short haircuts you
know just kind of buzz cuts almost you
get these little tiny hairs from where
they were trimming getting into the
ear canal embedding into the ear wax and then
just hardening around it so same
procedure on this one we're going to
detach it from the ear canal wall on the
left hand side straightly then to try
and get it out of the ear canal here we
are gonna grip on it and out he pops
there we are let's take a look at that
eardrum looking nice and healthy in
there as well so left toes what we moved
from the first year right sides what we
moved from the second
