That was earwax??? Damn, I thought it was a bird that flew in for the night!
😅😂😮 looks like weird insect. why its color black.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 bruh

That must have felt awesome such a relief.
When I was little our Family Physician as they were called handled it all unless there was a problem, I had 3 brother's and we were very close in age. He was such a wonderful Dr., and man and friend to my family, so he took lots of time with us, and explained everything. So, this is how he would check our ears. I actually liked it. Lol. By the time we got home, we could check everything on all the baby dolls, pets and neighbors. Lol But they just don't have wonderful Dr's, like that anymore, he was our Dr., until he passed away. Bless his wonderful soul!!❤
I had vertigo because of wax built up
It does, it feels relaxing and reliefieng but discomforting and a bit painfull at the same time
@@randomuser48737 where's your midol.. that was 3 sec
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👍🏾
They still do that. This is ENT specific. Urgent care or your primary care will still use a bottle filled with distilled water to gently flush your ear out
@@DarkDreams948 Yes my primary care uses softening drops and flushes it out with warm water too. Had it done this way once too with a lancet type device at an urgent care. Didn't hurt. I just felt a little pressure. Better than being constantly lightheaded and dizzy when the ears are impacted with wax.
Done standard by ENT docs in India most of the govt setups
I had my ears picked out like this by an ENT and the pain almost sent me through the roof. I'll take the old fashioned syringe and irrigation method any day over this torture......
@@jamiecloud1897 technically it should be painless. Don’t know why it caused you pain.
It’s soooooo 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. 😊
hey! im gonna get my ears cleaned this friday so IM SOOO SCARED,, does it hurt
@@stilwyu doesnt hurt, maybe stings a bit if ur ears are sensitive. If u have a good doctor it might even feel pretty nice. Dw u will be okay
@@kimovoorbraak thank you so much!! i was so scared haha🥲🥲
@@kimovoorbraak would u like to be friends? :)
@@stilwyu sure why not
Requires a good deal of experience to pull this off. Bravo!
thank you!!
Well, it's exactly the same motion as doing it with a cotton swap, but with better visibility .
@@johndododoe1411apparently the cotton swap don't really helps it can push the wax down further cotton swaps are ok for cleaning around the ear
Yes! The old saying never put anything sharper than your elbow in your ear 😅😅
No i use the thin quality available for 😊rs.10 from the atreets and it it pulls out loads of earwax conforytablyas it's top os small @@queenb4759
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.
Thanks for clarifying those points . If something seems too good to be true ,it usually is .
Buddy your degree is from India, you have no right of speech
@@MostafaAhmed-bp7ce This is how they normally do it in USA, Canada, EU.
@@MostafaAhmed-bp7ce Buddy you are not from India. You also don't have right to speech. Loser.
I know this is scary to do. I haven't generally heard or seen this being done.
This seemed so satisfying! I wish we have an ENT here who can do it.
Your general practitioner should know how to remove it and even the nurse.
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.
lol, I've def seen some crazy things come out of ears. Don't worry, its normal and you're not alone. Ill post soon a video on how to make your own irrigation material to irrigate your ears!
i got tinitus but with the pills and otoriniralingorogist it s good after 10 days
I get mine micro suctioned, so much easier!
@@blossomalchemy Is this available in the US yet?
I had a terrible experience with Water Irrigation to remove impacted ear wax...I got side effects afterwards of Nystagmus, Dizziness Vertigo, Ear Pain Ache... would not do water irrigation again..!!!!
The way she jumped at the end looks like that hurt!
no it actually feels tickling when you ask a doctor to clean your ear
Even though it tickles back in trigger the patient from moving.
It hurts like hell. I've had it done this way. It was terrible!
That’s y the sound is off during that time 😅
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!”
I believe you meant "smaller " but your md may have said bigger
@@eeltenaj19 yes. Sorry. Smaller.
Doesn't make sense
@@tonifoster1835 It means “don’t put anything in your ears.”
You're not comin anywhere near me with that thing, I can promise you that
The pain I felt when she inserts it inside the ear... like she is doing it to me
She’s healed! She can hear!
Least you aint dumping a bucket of water into someones ear and calling it "Traditional chinese wax removal"
Word bro I hate those videos
@@muf6779 same
when i was a kid a nurse at the doc office used a bug plastic syringe filled with warm water and blasted my shit. it worked but i would lf much preferred what was done in the video.
@@draagonteeththat's ear syringing. We still use them in my area.
Ideally, Normal saline is the standard liquid for ear syringing, but tepid (warm) clean water is the cheaper option.
OH MY GOD ITS A W PEAK COMMENT
That looks risky. Difficult to believe she would stick a piece of metal down into the ear and risk puncturing the ear drum.
the way she is doing it they do it that way in Japan, and South Korea but they use a cam to look inside, with a monitor part of Asia.
@@JIMMYZRivz In some parts od Asia, there isn't even any other instrument aside from the long metal thin rod. I've had it done before, they just gently scrape around the entrance of the ear canal.
reasonable to assume she was trained to do this task, but this is definitely a last resort if warm water/hydrogen peroxide cleanse don't work.
Warm water can cause trauma to the ear, it did to my ear!!!
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.
If they sold an effective ear suction kit over the counter
the wait list for doctors /ENT would likely be shorter 😉
Imagine how much time you could save avoiding booking a doctor appoint and then an ENT appoint 😅
@@casperinsight3524 suctioning does not work like actually taking it out
Sometimes it feels like my ears need to be cleaned in order for me to hear!
That must of felt so good
only costs 1000$
@@msdadsfsxwhat😢
Facts
no ts hurts
I call it eargasims.
Talk about a satisfying eargasim.
lol - it is
It’s really scary and painful I had an experience 😩
I think that's why the muted the video when she was cleaning out the patient's ear.
Seeing that instrument gave me flash backs of being a kid in the 80s when the ENT would poke around my ears with one. It hurt like hell. I can't believe you guys still use them all these years later.
My ent sucks it out with an ear vacuum cleaner. It hurts.
If it works, you stick with it!!
Hey man can you tells me if that vaccum hurts the ear if the war wax is too inside?@@CynM.
Yes I had an earache for several days after my last cleaning (water sprayed then scrapping) hurt like heck
@@marymmca1277 hey i am getting my ear cleaned tomorrow can you tell me for how many days does it hurt?
And does it hurt too much?
WOW! Love watching these short videos to learn more about how procedures are performed; especially if I am going to have it done 🙏🙏
More vids like this plz
My ears don’t drain properly so I have to see an ENT every 4-6 months and he does this lol. It’s crazy sometimes how much more I can hear when he’s done.
Try a heating pad!
Turn it on, let it warm up. Put a paper towel down. Then your head. The wax will heat up, melt and drop onto the paper towel. It feels weird but it works!!
@@falling4mEnever thought about that before! Great tip! I will definitely try that.
Does it hurt?
@@falling4mE I’ll give it a go! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@jessicaezeanyika6974 Not usually. A couple times it has been a bit painful but it mostly just tickles lol
Interesting! I had a nurse put a dissolving solution into my ear, then flushed it out. Easy peasy.
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. 😃
Why haven't we adopted the UK's method of wax removal using a small suction device attached to an otoscope?
fr once as a kid i has build up and the doc asked if i wanted a light saber or butterfly and i thought she was gonna give me a light up but she really just had a cute looking stick poked around in my ear 💀
@@Nathaniel2U that's awesome hopefully this procedure will be more widely available, I'm from Wisconsin
The ENT doctors and surgeons have the Microsuctions in South Africa.
because it can damage the ear drum
@@gilliananthony4324 and they cause damage to the ear drum most ENT's won't use them they are reserved for less experienced professionals
I didn’t think taking ear wax out came in the job profile of doctors. In India, street Hawkers do it for 10 rupees.
My oldest son had a big problem with ear wax The doctor was very surprised one time when he removed shredded tire mixed with ear wax. The school used shredded tire in the playground. This was in the 1980's in USA.
I have to clean my husband's ears about every other month. LOL This would have helped me when I came back from my deployment- 9 months worth of gunk. Lol
😂 Haha, thank you for your service.
Your husband isn't capable of cleaning his own ears especially for nine whole months? That's basic hygiene. Also, every other month is not enough...
I keep having ear aches on the left side, no doctor or ent has helped me.They keep telling me my ears are clean and there is nothing wrong. I have to live on pain killers to stop the pain.
So Sorry you in pain❤...Maybe the Dentist or Maxillofacial Doctor can detect if its a jaw or bone issue 🙏🏼Feel Better!
Yes, it could be a dental problem or TMJ. Have you ever been in a car accident?? It could be an alignment problem, grinding or it could be an infection. Just mention it to your dentist. I do hope you can find out what is causing your problem so you can feel better. 🙏
First time my ent did this I was sooo embarrassed. Those qtips just push the dirt and wax in deeper. It doesn’t hurt if they do it right.
So relaxing to watch. I can feel it
OMG that's a humongous amount of Wax I've never thought possibly in an ear. She must have been deaf in that ear.
Heck, put in earwax removal in UA-cam. OMG, sometimes it looks like a piece of petrified wood it's so hard in there.
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.
Im an ent in the UK. Of course ent in the US will have microsuction. Surely?
@creativesource3514 yes birth daughters had microsecond used. One got it frequently as her tube's didn't stop infection and the nasty had to be sticked out for him to see. The other put a bead in her ear. Edit to add the one time a doc used a tool, the ear canal bled.
People have said microsuction can be loud and potentially lead to tinnitus and/or hearing damage.
There are ent doctors who use micro suction in the USA. They help me a lot and it does not hurt.
@@mattlm64 👀 that doesn't sound good
I'm sure she can now hear those on the moon. 🤣🤣
😂❤🎉 And where do you think the Dr puts the Ear Wax glob? They leave it on a tray for us! As a Nurse that worked in ENT, we used get the humungous globs from old hearing aid patients, size of a Lemon 🍋
Good times, good times.
Wow! That was huge.
Excelente trabajo ❤🎉
I would also like to show my ENT how I remove my ear wax...it starts with a tooth pick or match stick...
Don't forget the hair pins. 😂
That's for wussies. Use an ice pick!
I didn't expect that.
Great job 👍🏾
Good to see someone doing it the Right Way and not flushing the ear out with water. Good Job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Flushing the ear out, if done properly, is still a good way to get it out. Assuming the person is trained. Although this is faster, a less experienced person could easily damage the ear.
❤🎉 good information👌
Thank you so much for sharing
Wow you did that quick and easy.
I watch a lot of wax removing videos and always wondered how they did the video/camera AND remove the wax
So now I know!
Thanks so much for posting this video!!!
I see the ENT doc every 6 months. He uses a suction device to remove wax build up. Kinda wish it was something I could utilize at home every other month or so.
They have kits at Walgreens that you can get that flushes out earwax. My daughter's pedi recommended it when he saw that she would have heavy wax build-up just like her dad. I've only had to use it once. When she has a small blockage.
You can do this at home. Head into Walmart to the eye and ear aisle. They have a whole row of wax removal kits. If you buy individual wax softening solution, get the ones made of 6.5% bicarbonate solution. It will bubble like vinegar and baking soda. They also have ear sprayers that just spray around the sides, no spray directly on ear drum. Generic brand is just as good as expensive name brands.
Informative. Thank you.
That was a chunk
I know they're bad for you but I use Q-Tips. I had my ears cleaned in the local emergency room once and they used water. The problem was after they used water, I had the worst ear infection I think i may have ever had. It sucked not being able to hear right around Christmas. The problem now is I never get anything on the qtips though I clean my ears pretty much every day. Is there something I can use to actually clean my ears that won't risk the infection? I've tried Water and Peroxide but that doesn't always work. The insides of my ears sometimes itch and that drives me nuts.
These have been proved as a hoax but have you ever tried those ear candles? They may provide you with some relief, but if nothing else they’re supposed to be pretty relaxing :-)
@@abbywylie4443ear candles are trash. And a burn hazard.
@@abbywylie4443 no never use ear candles, worst advice ever.
You can use olive oil and wash it out in the shower and use a blow dryer to dry your ears.
Watch the wax removal videos on UA-cam. You'll see what using quips does.
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!
Yes!!! You can go to any clinic, and they will do this!!! I get earwax building up, and as someone said here, they go in, and a person “ear-I gates” your ear!! They usually have a small machine/receptacle that holds water Which they can put warm/hot water into adjusting the temperature, and I guess using peroxide and or salt solution too, if they want… And then they can power wash the earwax out of your ear canal!!! so don’t run out and buy hearing aids, people!!! Just get your ears cleaned out!!
next time consider going to Urgent care rather than an ER if there is something like that in your communty
I'm a tad late to the party but my god the relief of seeing that earwax skewer. The amount of skill involved 🔥
EXCELLENT👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I went nearly deaf from wax and used Castor Oil and Q-tips for 4 days. Perfect hearing now. But you have to be Very careful with Q-tips. If you're not careful go to a doctor. Some suggest peroxide and you don't need Q-tips, but my wax was really impacted so I think Castor Oil and Q-tips worked great for me.
Nicely done
Omg that was so so so soooo satisfying to watch!!! That wax was huge, that must have felt so good after it was out!
Lol i just got mine out today it was some micro machine sounds like vacuum when doc was taking mine out got huge relief
Thanks Doctor !!!!
Professional Audiologists armed with microsuction and a variety of instruments with extreme education often will provide a better service.
No microsuction is more invasive and can produce more harm.
I had no idea. I thought you were on vacation. Glad you're okay. ❤
Does it hurts?
6:28. I just burst out laughing when you said about the skydiving.I am learning to skydive. I also have been engaged but didn't get married. I've heard what you said plenty of time's. Thankfully I got the "seriously think about if you want to get married" by my friend.There was no divorce in my country back then. The same friend encouraged me to try a skydive if I thought I'd like it. Makes me think that I am lucky and have a great friend 😊
Mine had his assistant use a water pick and flushed out a plug of wax that I found hard to believe came out of my ear 👂🏼 😮
Great! No how do I get my husband to the doctor?
What was the name of the instrument that you used to remove the wax??
That was probably a Jobson horne. Not something you should go sticking in your ear at home. Theres a reason many ENT's use irrigation when at all possible.
@@GamerLoggosnot anymore they don't.
I wondered how my pediatrician did it when I was a kid! I remembered them using an audio scope and what looked like a tiny crochet hook
ENT does not want to do this. He told me to use drops for 2 weeks in the meantime I cant hear.
I wonder if they have that available on Amazon?
Walmart has a whole line of these products.
Excelente 👍
Never use cotton swabs😂😂
How do you get an appointment. Need to see my Primary Dr, which takes months, then the referral takes another few months to schedule that one.?
Can't you just get the referral letter mailed you and whole waiting for that schedule with ENT. Or, ho to Walmart and buy ear wax removal kit. Do it at home. May ask a relative to help you if unsure. Easy.
I missed my calling 😢
But remember, don't use q tips inside your ears.. 🙄
wow very professional
One of the most common ways to clean ears is with a small vacuum tube, which suctions out the wax.
It definitely looks painful and I had no idea that otoscopes open up.
Wow that's great 👍
My ENT used a mini vacuum through the scope thing. The best one is the water one with the cover.
I went to a Ent yesterday
I Didn't!!
Thx. I have been doing this for 65 years. Every time in ENT and PCP they always say my ears are clean no wax build up. Go figure. One in a million I guess.
❤ good jab. Lovely.
One guy was charged $1,800 for impacted cerumen.
My child has severe wax build up and is in pain and failed hearing test but totally freaked out when his pediatrician tried to flush it out. Apt with ent coming up, any chance they'll put him to sleep to do this? There's no way he's going to let them do this
Unlikely. You can try debrox drops to help dissolve the wax so it comes out on their own. Also a mixture of vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol (equal parts) can do the same. Both must be used continually (every other day at least),
Oh dang no way I am not used to this method
Interesting, my ENT suctioned it all out.
Where is your office?
My left ear has suddenly become blocked and its not opening(no hearing loss though just feeling of fullness) there is no pain or discharge either and its completely dry as well. I cant understand how this suddenly happened. Can you give tips on how to open my ear?
You might want to see an ENT for what sounds like your eustachian tube.
did it opened??
Is it now Normal ?🌼🌻🌺
The earrings are so nice 🤩
Muito boa, sem dor
This looks much safer than useing a cuetip I really need this done with my right ear 👂 because my right ear gets filled with earwax like crazy sometimes it blocks my hearing.
You're good 💯
How do you do it yourself
What should I do??? I know I have extremely curved ear canals, every time I have dizziness or the feeling of being underwater they tell me I’m fine … I know I’m not then I’m reduced to home remedies..
Where is your clinic Dra ?
What is the instrument called
I See nothing. Would like to see the inside!
I always feel they are going to pierce my brain. Its so terrifying yet so satisfying
My ENT has a device that suctions the ear wax out. It feels so good.
Is that what’s in everybody’s ears? 😮
Only if your earwax fluids doesn't drain properly or you don't clean it properly. It builds up.
Yep! Deep crap up in there 😊
Genetics. Some people get massive skin plugs mixed with wax. You typically have to see a professional for removal.
I've watched videos with ENT drs and they pull out much, much, worse. Many don't go for years and by the time they go the wax is impacted and the Dr has to dig it out.
bravos 👍🏻👏🏻
