shall see you at the end hi everybody this is Rhys Barber from audiology
associates thank you very much watching our latest ear canal removal video you
can see that this patient has a quite occluded ear canal here with with ear canal
it looks quite soft in nature so we're just gonna use the micro suction to
remove this today you can see as we get a grip on this this ear wax some of it is
getting sucked into the Machine you can see it's quite thick and sticky ear canal
isn't always the easiest one to remove with micro section but to try and remove
this with a Jobson horn would be really messy it would just pull through the
middle of it and it would cause all sorts of ear canal to get stuck to the
ear canal walls if you are enjoying the video guys and you're not already
subscribed to our channel on YouTube then you can nip over to YouTube and go
to audiologyassociatesUK there are lots of ear canal removal videos on there
if you take a look at don't forget to hit the subscribe button and then ring
the bell to get a notification every time we put a new video on so still
using the micro suction to loosen this ear wax off the ear canal wall it is very sticky
stuff so as we're moving it from one ear canal wall it's actually pressing and
sticking too the opposing ear canal wall there so very difficult to
maneuver sometimes we'll put a little bit of olive oil in here just to reduce
the tacky sticky nature to the ear canal the difficulty is you can see these fine
hairs on the outer part of the ear canal there if you put some olive oil in there
now it's just going to coat those fine hairs it really obscure your view it's
not going to really help you very much if you're watching this on Facebook guys
then drop our page a like on Audiologyassociates1 there's new
content going onto both YouTube and Facebook every week so check both out
guys it's definitely worth a look it's really trying to work this piece of ear canal
out of the ear canal it's an odd consistency because it's not quite solid enough to
take out in one go but not quite liquid enough either to get sucked into the
machine so it's it's a real halfway house which is really difficult to
remove because you'll start to lift the ear wax and you think you've got a nice grip
on it to come away but because it's just that little bit sticky it stretches out
you don't really get be you as you see there you don't really get the good
enough grip on the remainder of ear canal to take it out in one piece
see well manoeuvre this one larger piece now to the outer part of the ear canal
its really stuck in there though just wedged
so just gonna try and lift it up and over it out I don't really want to use
the jobson Horne it's a kind of a last resort on this because it tends to
just pull straight through the center of the ear wax and you end up with a groove in
the middle and everything stuck to the ear canal walls either side which makes a
little bit more difficult to to take away
see it slowly coming out of the ear canal
okay so were we're gonna use the jobson just to try and get this out can
you see what I mean about pulling through just making it really just
squishes the ear canal everywhere it doesn't want to be and sticks all over the walls
it's a lot harder to remove usually with the Jobson there you go okay so we've
got more ear wax sitting behind it so the first thing we're going to do is unstick
that from the ear canal wall just get a good suction grip and try and
peel it away because that rear section of ear wax if you look is much darker so I
think that's gonna be a little bit more solid so I'm hoping if I can unstick the
ear wax from the entrance to the ear canal there you can just start and see the whole
thing lifting and moving just show you again now can you see it all moving
there because we unstuck it first from the entrance it means that we can then
loosen the rear section which is a lot harder to come out with it so it's gonna
slow the video down so we get a good look at the eardrum yeah oh that's
lovely and healthy perfect so this is what we removed guys you can see two
large pieces of ear wax they've sealed dark it is in color as well
