  • Thank you for watching our ear wax removal video today. The ear wax extraction featured in todays video was carried out using endoscopic microsuction. This procedure uses a small camera called an endoscope to visualise inside the ear canal whilst a small suction tube is inserted to gently remove ear wax.
    All the ear wax cleaning videos you see on our channel are carried out by our ear wax specialists Mr Rhys Barber and Mr Taylor Green.

    We post new ear cleaning videos Monday - Friday at 9PM GMT so if you find ear wax removal satisfying please consider subscribing to our channel.
    Ear wax plays a vital role in ear health. It helps to prevent ear infection and helps with ear cleaning by picking up any dirt or debris that accumulates in the ear canal. Normally this ear wax would fall out of the ear taking any dirt or debris with it.
    How to remove ear wax?
    Many people use q-tips/cotton buds for ear wax removal at home this is one of the worst things you can put into the ear as this can lead to an increased ear wax buildup or in extreme cases impacted ear wax. The best way to remove ear wax is to let your ears clean themselves and not to put anything smaller than your elbow in your ears!
    How do I know if I have an earwax blockage?
    If you experience a change in your hearing, discomfort in the ear or jaw or a feeling of fullness in the ear canal you may have an ear wax blockage. Our advice is to speak to your Doctor or local Audiologist who can take a look in your ears and assess whether ear cleaning is needed.

When you find yourself all locked up and tense, take a hand towel, wet it with warm water and put it in your microwave for 1-1:30 sec.. Cover with a dry towel to hold in the heat because it will cool off quickly. Then, ever so politely to ask Mrs. B. to give you a neck and shoulder rub!! 😁🤩😴. Love from the US!

      I’m sure he uses plugs.
      Back when we were a bit more clueless about ear health, my brother (who had grommets in his ear drums as a kid) would put just enough Silly Putty in the opening of his ear canals when he went swimming and when taking showers/baths.
      I know audiologists at least in the US can make custom plugs for this kind of issue.

    My husband had a mastoidectomy when he was 11, it was revised when he was 24, he's now in his late 30's. He has his ears cleaned out every 3 months with the nhs, they always tell him to put olive oil drops in twice a day for 3 days before his appointment, probably to avoid this type of scenario. I can't imagine his being left for 2 years, I don't think he'd be able to hear anything if he left it that long.
