hi everybody this is Rhys barber from
audiology associates thank you very much
for watching our video today we have an
ear wax instruction video for you this is
a dry skin and you ear wax this particular
client has some dry skin in the ear
ear canal so we know this is gonna be tough
stuff and it's gonna just gently probe
it with the microsuction tube just to see how
dry this is and you can see just how
tough this is we're so much flaking away
in tiny pieces so we're gonna have to
put some olive oil in here just to
loosen this up a little bit and make it
a bit easier to remove so we just see
the standard saison are going in here
just gonna grip on this this drier skin
just looking for any any bit of play in
the ear wax when you get a grip on it so
you're looking for any any movement
they're looking for any kind of weaker
spots and this skin and ear wax blockage
because it's completely covering the ear
ear canal and ear drum so we're looking for
any gap or any any way of getting this
out cleanly if we can just you just got
a little bit of movement there so we're
gonna work on that slightly weaker spot
than just over a section so you can see
that this is just really almost crumbly
it's it's there it's like layers of of
dry skin and ear wax one over the top of the
other so it's just a case of taking one
piece away to get to the next section
behind and just keep working your way
through it so you've got a little lip
here to work on but it's not quite wide
enough to get a good microsuction grip on and
because when you look at that the flaky
nature of this ear wax on that on the
surface it's not a it's not a completely
small surface but it's it's very kind of
lumpy sore when you try and get a grip
on it with a microsuction tube you can't get
a really good grip because there the air
escapes and gets through all little gaps
so we're just trying to work on this one
section here we've lifted from
underneath so it's become we've got a
slightly softer stickier ear wax which is
better to get a good microsuction grip on so
we just try to maneuver this and
Austrailia lift it upwards you can see
the eardrum behind so we can see that
there
you can also see as I'm pulling is just
break-in little bits off but if you look
as we go in now as we move over this top
section you can see that just below it
that section is also trained to move as
well so it's it's caught this this dry
skin in the in the the slight flaring of
the year canal just before it hits the
eardrum it's gonna be a little bit more
difficult because that's why the section
just probably hits the drum is where a
lot of this dry skin and debris is who
is holding what I'm trying to microsuction in
so we just don't the Train will work on
us as best we can here there you go we
just start Lee got a bit of movement the
air we I was just starting to pull them
out okay it's clear the bottom second so
we got and lovely you can see that the
the reflective surface of that eardrum
behind so it's really shiny it's really
healthy now we just need to remove this
top section here so you can see I'm
working slightly further away from it
just gonna get a grip on you know just
to see if it'll move you can see it's
really held in there firmly there we go
that's that piece now there is another
section here at the top which needs to
come away
get a grip on this
there we have to come slightly further
back you see it's all connected Saul
ABI look at all pleading away from the
ear canal wall so now we're starting to get
a much better grip on this there you go
yeah yeah but you can see this is a lot
of skin that's still held in here behind
very drier older ear wax there we go it's
the neck section still clearing and so
we can get this last piece away
hey go come out there take a look the
ear drum you see how shiny and healthy
our eardrum looks this is what we took
away it doesn't look like a lot when you
look at the the eardrum itself is
normally only about a centimeter across
you can see that it was quite a bit that
way just sitting just in front but
