That must have felt awesome such a relief.

That was earwax??? Damn, I thought it was a bird that flew in for the night!

As a ENT specialty clinical nurse, it also depends on how hard the ear wax. Ear wax needed to be softened up before it can be easily and safely removed.

Thank you! I have an appt today and was looking for what to expect and only saw videos with “graphic content” warnings and the patients looking horrified and scared! This video was very assuring and calming instead. Thank you

Am an ENT surgeon from India. This is not the way ear wax can be removed safely. One small movement by the patient can cause injuries. Ear syringing by sterile water or diluted povidone iodine is the safest method. If wax is still stubborn, a ear microscope is needed to evacuate the wax with specific instruments under magnified vision. Removal of impacted ear wax safely, is not as easy as it seems.

It’s satisfying when they do it this way. Like scratching an itch I didn’t know existed

When I was young I had wax buildup problems and general ear problems. My Dr used this same tech nique to remove the wax. Some times it tickled really bad when he would touch the tiny hairs, it was all I could do to sit still. Cheers. 😊

Back in the day, my dad used to flush out our earwax with a syringe filled with saline solution. It worked perfectly, I’m talking about the fifties and early sixties. The evolution of medical technology, how sweet👍🏾

Requires a good deal of experience to pull this off. Bravo!

[Dominicthedonkey]

I go deaf about twice a year from earwax buildup. They just spray water in my ears after giving me some wax softening ear drops. It's pretty nasty everytime lol.

[bbbvids]

I remember I couldn’t hear for 2 weeks because of wax buildup. My primary Dr could not do it. I had to go to the ER and they flushed my ears out with water and peroxide solution and I could hear so clearly!! It was such a relief!

[cephalonplant]

Least you aint dumping a bucket of water into someones ear and calling it "Traditional chinese wax removal"

[AnthonyUy-olbz]

This seemed so satisfying! I wish we have an ENT here who can do it.

[cherylflinchbaugh]

Yes! My ENT said that the ear canal should never be flushed out.

[bck]

Oh my gosh – thank you for posting this! She must feel so much better. Dr. can you get numbing drops before hand so that it’s not so ticklish/uncomfortable? my daughter needs to have hers cleaned by the ENT. American here. 😃

[markmardy]

This is a good video. Both of my ears are blocked and I can only hear a little bit. This is really getting annoying and I really need to see an ENT doctor soon after I have been given out a referral note.

[manatee]

I am in the US. I wish we had someone here that uses micro suction like they have in the UK..Still your method is much better than flushing out the ears with water.

Sis can hear how ants rant with their everyday life

[jenniffiercostello]

Our oldest son had reoccurring ear infections when he was young and numerous MD’s repeatedly told us to “Never let anyone put anything smaller than your elbow in your, or your son’s, ears!”

[cherylcherriecust]

WOW! Love watching these short videos to learn more about how procedures are performed; especially if I am going to have it done 🙏🙏
