hi everybody my name is Rhys Barber I'm
the audiologist here at audiology
associates our Christmas gift to you
this ear is the 12 days of ear wax mess
you're gonna be getting a new video from
us every day now up until Christmas day
so I really hope you enjoy the videos
and as always guys take a hi everybody
this is Rhys Barber from audiology
associates thank you very much watching
at you ear wax removal video this is the
second day of your 12 days of ear wax masoor
a new ear wax removal video coming on
every day up until Christmas Day you can
see this patient has some very very hard
dry ear wax very blocked up in this ear
ear canal I've introduced a little bit of
olive oil in here I'm just gonna see if
we can get a grip if you watch the video
yesterday you'll know that these harder
plugs of ear wax were this very flat face to
it is always more difficult to remove
now this patient surfs a lot so they've
been using some swim plugs basically
stop water getting into the ears and
that's they've been using that's been
pushing a lot of this ear wax deeper in so
we're gonna use the Jobson horn now
because it's very hard you can see how
much it's actually snapping and it's
quite brittle in here so just working it
down the side of this block of ear wax
trying to get a little bit of purchase
on to this left hand side of the the
plug here just snapped a little section
off the front so we're gonna aim a
little bit higher now no it's difficult
to get behind it so I'm looking to push
into the ear wax imagine putting pressure
down you've widened that space you're
putting pressure on you've broadened it
out so it's not going to feel as
uncomfortable for the patient rather
than trying to push it down through a
gap between you know the ear canal wall and
at the ear wax you can see lot a little bit
of hair in here all dried into that ear wax
binding it together causing this real
dry hard plug there just slowly working
this down the ear canal just slowed the
video down a little bit so you can see
this coming away you can see I'm rolling
the ear wax down and then when I've got it
far enough I can comfortably get the
jobs in Hoorn behind there we are
starting to pull away so quite a big old
plug this one all of others' gonna help
to slide it across the ear canal walls a
little bit better they
we are we've rolled it out now to the
ear canal there we go you can see the oil
that's coated the side little bit of dry
skin at the base there I'm gonna pick
this up using the suction it's too hard
to actually get the jobs and horn into
so you can see just how big bigger
blockage that was patient very very
relieved to get though their ears if we
take a look behind you can see we've got
a bit of swimmers here here see those
two narrowings either side that's where
the cold water has been going in so it's
just causing the ear canal walls then to
encroach into the ear canal they're actually
bony outgrowths they are on both sides
so this is the patients either rear you
can see they've got a very hardened up
block of ear wax in here again introduced a
little bit of olive oil to help to slide
this out of the ear canal just struggling to
get a grip on this with the suction tube
I can go in with the Jobson horn now so
we've gone just above the entrance to
the ear wax we're gonna do the same thing I
push into the ear wax there we are with the
Jobson horn which gives us a good grip
you can see it just broke a front
section away so I'm gonna aim a little
bit deeper and see if we can get over
the top of this section and then angle
it into the ear wax again there we are so
what I'm doing I'm trained it aim for
the harder section of ear wax at the base of
the ear canal because if you can get a good
grip on that it will effectively slide
this plug out a bit better but as you
can see it's just teasing in a part it's
pulling away there from our bottom
section just gonna Bend this flap of ear wax
here down so we can get a good look
what's going on behind it so I'm just
working along that one ear canal wall just
disappearing just slightly over the top
of the ear wax now we're gonna angle this up
and draw this out at the same time so
you can see I'm actually drawing the ear wax
down the ear canal towards the entrance
there I've got a good grip behind slowly
working this out we've slowed this video
down hopefully we'll go back onto the
ear wax there we are there you go so you can
see it was quite a large plug that came
away it did come away in one piece this
time just a little bit of dry at
skin here at the entrance oh just pick
some of this up and tidy that up a
little bit you can see that one little
bit there doesn't want to come away so
we'll get a good grip on that now just
lift it up get a bit of a wiggle and
Alfie snaps there we go you can see the
eardrum there this is that the piece to
the left is actually that the second
ear so you can see it was much longer
than the first say but a lot wider so
really big big big pieces of ear wax there I
