I can't begin to imagine how good that must have felt to the patient...
Apparently it actually hurts a bit, but I would think I’ll like it.
It is insanely painful to be removed, however the relief after the removal is at least 60% better, and within 2 days 90%
It actually hurts a ton, my mom does my ears every month cause they get clogged frequently and it hurts very bad
The problem with ear wax drops instructions is they say to put the drops in your ear and tilt your head for about 2-3 minutes, and to use cotton wool to keep the drops in your ear (if needed). However, what it doesn't say (which you're supposed to do) is then immediately tilt your head the other way with a tissue and let gravity assist to let the wax-slurry come out, after a few minutes you can wipe the outer ear clean. Once I did this the drops started working a lot better - not tilting your head the reverse way keeps some of it in your ears and it makes the wax worse!

It was so satisfying to watch the contents come out so easily, I can just imagine the relief the patient felt as the final layer of dead skin peeled right off the eardrum! It was definitely a great video!
Yes😂❤

It's amazing how Sodium Bicarbonate drops work for ear wax removal.
There are too many videos where other ENT's are struggling to remove ear wax.
Exactly! If it works…use it!
The wax whisperer uses sodium bicarb
Not only is this very educational, but also very satisfying!
I can only imagine the relief after having all the skin debris cleaned out
This was wonderful to watch.
I'm a popper. This scratched an itch I didn't even know I had.
Big thanks to Durhamn Hearing Specialists!!
I love the way how gentle you are whilst removing all the wax etc from the ears 😊
I'll bet the patient was extremely happy after this procedure. Good job, Doc!
Lowkey in love with this doctor now! 8 nights just randomly watching ear wax removal narrations now. Weird rabbit hole LOLZ
Same! The Toe Bro too! grosser but still addicting 🤣
Lmao same I know it's bedtime when I start watching him 😂
It's interesting to remember the sheer scale of things. That one tiny drop of sodium bicarbonate is maybe as big as a tiny bit of sweat, but looks like a big puddle when it's sprayed out.
Your channel is almost a complete online wax removal course. Incredible information! Well done!
Thanks Vik!
The Sodium Bicarbonate looks like an easier way to use when softening the earwax or cleaning up the fungal debris in the ears. Thank you for sharing your vlogs. You are an articulate audiologist and have the long patience to clean up the ears of your patients. More power to you.
This was an incredible extraction video. The clarity and magnification of your camera are one of the best I've ever seen! Very satisfying removal! Thanks from San Francisco 💫🌟
That was brilliant. I worry that the ear canal might get damaged if that was attempted by someone that wasn’t a proper ear specialist. Very delicate.
Wow that was huge. I’m not surprised the patient was having such hearing issues very interesting video as always. Thank you Connor 🙏🏼
Thanks Jasmin
Enjoyed

I had once similar case. The eardrops said tilt your had and stay in that position minimum for one minute!.. End of instruction! It literally did not said what to do after that, so I just liad down and started watching a UA-cam video and fall asleep. It did not helped, but it was the first time, so I just keep repeating the process (not the falling asleep part). All the wax flowed down and got solidified on my eardrum, of course I end up at the doctors office next week.
Thanks, Connor, for another inside look into your world. I'm sure your students appreciate what you put out in You Tube. If nothing else it is a constant referral for them to access. I'm glad you're doing so much teaching, you certainly have a flare for it.
Thanks Therese
I So Agree Therese.
@@viviennejordan215 Thank you. Connor has a great way of informing those of us who are fascinated with the world of audiology.
Tip of the iceberg
He is profeasor?? He looks more like student. Do i don't know do you knead medical scholl-college you got totaly diferent sistem of education. He had not more then 30 how then he can be proffesor? So confusing 😮
why am i salivating so much watching this!?

i watch several audiologists in the UK & what i’ve learned is that each one finds what works best for them, whether it’s drops or tools, the consistency of the skin/wax they are working on and their experience; that’s really what is most important. Neel is like you, sodium bicarbonate for skin at the appt . if used prior it’s too slushy, plus the patient doesn’t know if they have skin or wax. most like olive oil for wax. forceps only if it’s really hard & u have room to get the right grip, otherwise it’s not useful. i learn best by watching, observing & this is what i’ve learned from all of you. all are amazing audiologists. i wish they would use suction here in the states. my neighbor had her ears flushed & they got a lot out but her one ear hurt worse & while she hears better it’s not as good as the other ear. i have a feeling they flushed some into her one of the recesses & is pushing on her ear drum, not allowing it to fully vibrate. idk any where here she can go to get it treated properly. if i were rich i’d fly us across the pond and get her ear suctioned properly. of course i’m guessing based on all the videos i’ve seen and how much wax can be in the recesses.
I am in NC & my ear doctor uses a suction gadget to get the wax out
When they flush Her ear, do they sometimes use Suction also, to get any excess water out. If He/She turns that ear to the floor, any excess should come out. Use a tissue to catch it. Do the same, Any time water gets in the ear, showering, swimming. Do the same after drops have bn used, let them soak for a few minutes, then turn head to the floor, with a tissue underneath.
I have used hydrogen peroxide while lying on my side and let it sit for a while. I repeat it as the bubbling slows. It bubbles the wax to the surface. I do tip that ear to the floor and catch any liquid with a napkin or tissue. I have done this on my kids also. I am not a doctor, so I am not giving medical advice.
Thanks to your videos i bought an ear washer. I cleaned my kids ears because at school they use headphones a lot, especially my 2 teen daughters. It was a life saver because they can hear better now and so do I. 😊
Your voice really helps me sleep and with my diagnosed insomnia that's really saying something, so thank you
Fähiger Mann! Sehr umsichtig und feinfühlig: weiß, was er macht.
The effect of those drops is amazing. My son has lots of ear issues, but can't use sodium bicarb or over the counter drops in one ear as it causes him severe pain instantly. His eardrum ruptured when he was little, and his consultant repaired it with a skin graft (there was only the edges of the drum left). Sadly that burst too. I assume it hasn't repaired as that is the ear he can't tolerate drops in. Also when he's had a cold and his ear is blocked, he can sometimes clear it when blowing his nose. Hoping an ENT appointment will come through soon for him.
Me, too. That's terrible that it ruptured the whole ear drum. I worry for my nephew. His ear drum was ruptured by a Q-tip. Somehow he got a hold of one in his sister's car and when she hit a hard pothole it jammed it in. Pretty soon his older nephew asked why blood was coming out of his ear. Oh my gosh, I was horrified.
@@saritataylor4235 oh god, that sounds horrible and very painful. Hope he is better.
@@saritataylor4235oh sh**!!! I never use a q tip deep into my ear now... only on the outer part of the hole where earwax can be visible.
@@20PINKluvr you're never supposed to put a q tip in your inner ear in the first place, best case it does nothing, more often it just shoves wax deeper.
I used to swim in the ocean and I once had a ragged piece of shell get attached to my eardrum. I developed a lot of pain but being young I ignored it til one day I woke up with blood on my pillow and went to a doctor and he mentioned my eardrum had ruptured - I am now unable to do deep sea diving or get water in my ear as it gets infected. I guess It didn’t heal like it once was healthy. Any drops or water will cause horrendous pain. My ENT’s don’t believe me and they all say it looks healed.
Man, that first pull is so satisfying!
I love this kind of skin/wax extractions. And the longer the peel the better. Thanks
Sooooooo satisfying
I look forward to your videos each time. As a retired NP it’s always nice to watch superb medical videos and yours fall into the superb categories for sure.
For someone afraid to see a doc regarding this, let me tell you since I've gone myself to deal with blocked ears:
If your ear is full, but not blocked (you can still hear relatively good; this is what my right ear was) its not an issue whatsoever. My doc pulled out an entire chunk as big as a pen head with no problems within one minute, no pain, no scratches, nothing...
The issue starts if it sits directly on your eardrum and deafens you (like w my left) My doc wasn't able to break that down even after 4 minutes of mining away with oil and water. It will also start to hurt if you poke too much. Got a prescription for salt/oil-eardrops, have to use them for 2 weeks. After that: back to my doc and try again.
Never been to such ear canal cleaning before in my life, watched you to brace myself for what awaits me.
I have no fear anymore
There is a spray product you can buy for prevention which softens and helps clear the wax immediately. . I suffered for decades with blocked ears . I just use the spray once a month in the shower, takes about 2 minutes in total. Havent had an issue for years.
@@zentriffidwhat is the name?
@@karentilley4356 Believe it or not its called Clean Ear spray.
As a retired RN who has worked in office nursing, had many ear cleaning times. I had never seen the suction instrument and would of helped a lot.
Would *have*

How'd you make it out of high school?
It’s shoulda coulda woulda
Where you been?
This is simultaneously super nasty and extremly satisfying to witness while being narrated by a such a soothing voice.
This is easily the most satisfying I've seen so far.
You are spoiling us Conner 3 videos in quick concession
Many many thanks ❤
Glad you're enjoying them, thanks
@@DurhamHearingSpecialists I’m loving them thank you x
I had a nasty ear infection and my ear channel was filled with dead skin and all sorts of debris. When I went to a ONT specialist, he cleared my ear with a tool like this one. Eve if the infection was still there, I immediately felt so much better…great video
When those big pieces come out like that it's as good as watching your favourite sports team scoring a goal 🎉
I'm addicted to these videos. I could do this 8 hours straight. It's soothing for some reason. ✌🏾
Learning English in this channel is weird, isn't it.
I really enjoy the videos and the techniques he uses to clean the ear channels.
Regards from Madrid.
I tryed this 2day n my hearing is 100% better..thank u sir..a Million Blessings 2u..
My brother thinks I’m really odd for liking this channel. I find it satisfying
I'm so happy that the technology to help people like this exists
Nice video, Connor. Plus, the explanation of Sodium Bicarbonate at work was amazing.
Thanks Mike
I don't even have any serious ear issues but im still watching. Keep it up
Love this Connor. I learn so much from you. Watching this and older videos on my new 65inch tv!! Its a whole new experience!! Definitely my fave audiologist 💜
Thankyou for watching!
Wow, I can't imagine how Fantastic that would be. I watch on my 4" phone screen, lol. Must be like being in another Dimension, in the First Row of the Cinema! 'Fantastic Voyage' comes to mind, Great Film, the Special Effects were Something at that time. Scientists miniaturized to perform brain surgery inside the President's? Body. They got out by way of a teardrop. They don't make films like that anymore.
This is the most satisfying ear wax extraction video I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe the size of the stuff coming out!
Um ..... Was I the only one that needed a cigarette?????
Great job, Conor. Skin peels are my favorite type of removal. Thank you so much for sharing. Take care.
This has weirdly become my go to channel for my morning coffee ✨️☕️
Great job, Conor, sodium bicarb is so useful in many other areas too. 👍🏻🕊
Thanks Jennifer
I use it instead of toothpaste
I have eczema otitis and get frequent fungal infections. I've been getting them for decades. The most effective thing has been getting regular cleanings and in between I use a mixture of rubbing alcohol and white distilled vinegar in conjunction with csf powder (antibiotic, antifungal, and steroid). I'm not a Dr., but this is advice from someone who is intimately familiar with ear infections.
I use the vinegar, alcohol mixture after I submerge my head in any body of water.
The gift that keeps on giving!!!
That first pull was heavenly!
Hi Connor. That was fascinating. You make it look so east. No wonder poor patient couldn't hear. Great job
Thanks Ellen
When you pull that big earwax chunks, that's really satisfying
So satisfying. Great video
Thanks
When I was a child my mother insisted on putting olive oil in my ear and I hated it. I am 73 now and can't make myself eat anything that has been close to olive oil !!!!! Ah such wonderful childhood memories !!!!
Huge peels! It surprises me how controversial sodium bicarb seems to be. It has very specific uses where it's wonderful, and you demonstrated that perfectly in this video. Cheers, Connor!👍
Thanks Pat
What a weird rabbit hole to fall down. Is it weird that these videos make my mouth water?
I LOVE the skin peels the most! Another great, informative video!
I could feel that big piece coming out of my own ear. That looked like it felt sooooo good.
Wow! Fabulous video Connor! Both ears were pretty messy. Very informative as well! Thanks so much for sharing.✌️❤️🙏🇨🇦
Thanks Lisa
This was so-good, I am here 5-months later watching a re-run!
Very satisfying! Lovely video mate!
It's very rare for you to show the cleaning of both ears. I love it though ngl, I subbed to your channel for some ear cleaning satisfaction video but i am getting educated instead 🙂
Thankyou for watching
I can only imagine the feeling that is felt as the film is removed from the drum exposing the drum bare.
Those were really cool skin peels. Thank you.
You can tell this dude loves his job
Thank you, it was very interesting. You did a great job of getting it out basically with one pull.
And like you said the patient must have used softening something, with his head tilted, for it to build up on the ear drum like that.
We call them "alligator" forceps. Hi, from Texas. Beautiful job
It probably is a 'soaking a hardened solid' thing, but sodium bicarb definitely is a base, it's pH is around 8 and cerumen has a slightly acidic pH.
There's probably some neutralizing hydrolysis reactions happening at the skin/cerumen interface because of the wetting AND the pH action.
I'll have to do some reading on this, thanks for that. :D
It's the same process used to make soap!
I've watched a lot of videos from different Audiologists, but yours are quite different and look comfortable for the patient. The Sodium Bicarbonate looks better to use instead of the olive oil. The Sodium Bicarbonate soften the airwax and, at the same time, sterilizing the ear canal.
Thank you so much for sharing your vlogs.
Take care.
How does a patient use bicarb or oil ear drops without causing this issue where the soft wax sludge slides deeper into the ear?
nobody cares for the explanation, but your videos are very relaxing, thanks!
Great video, Conner! Love the skin peels & great explanation of bicarb’s magic! Thanks!
Very satisfying video. I also love we got to see the piles at the end. But maybe what I love even more is how awkwardly cute this doctor is. “Not that anyone is buying DVDs anymore …” 😂
That was very satisfying to see! One question I have is when it comes to inserting the drops in the patient's ears, in this case the sodium bicarbonate, do you have more than one method of inserting them in the patient's ear canal? To me, it looked like you did, but I don't want to assume anything.
I insert the little metal funnel into the ear canal and squirt the drops in there, means I can use one bottle for several patients. If the bottles nearly finishes I just pour it in
It's odd but I can watch these videos all day no problems... but eating cornflakes at the same time..gave me the ick!!! So had to pause till i finished... but how satisfying and beautifully filmed is this.. I'm a fan!😊
Any concerns around the usual PH of the ear canal (when coated in wax as it should be) vs PH of bicarb? I'd seen another source suggest wax is slightly acidic as a natural defence and if you neutralise that with bicarb (slightly alkaline?) then you may be open to infection.
He's the doctor. Once in a little while won't hurt. It can cause infection if you do it all the time.
Considering you only do this if your ear got blocked with wax in the first place, I'm sure it will recover promply by going back to overproducing wax that doesn't fall out properly many more times to come...
Please kindly continue posting your much appreciated videos
Hi from Seattle! In your sodium bicarbonate solution, what is the sodium bicarbonate-to-water ratio? Just curious as to how strong the solution is (and I'm not a chemistry major, so I'll need that in layperson's terms, lol)...
I second this comment! I need the recipe!
Hi Connor, do you think sodium bicarbonate ear drops are more useful than water? And do you use the commercially available 5% drops or something else? I also wondered whether you found it drying after repeated use, presumably because the water can evaporate and leave a coating of sod bicarb over the skin.
The sodium bicarbonate reacts with acids in the dead skin to form co2 and residuals and will be completely neutralized with next to none left.
@@steveshea7725 even if this weren't the case, healthy ear produces wax that slowly drifts outwards, dries and falls out in small chunks, that's how ear remains clean, anything goes... From my experience the falling part happens when chewing food because as always nature can't stop trolling organisms with stupidest designs ever.
Does bicarb irritate the living skin at all? It seems like it might be harsher than the olive oil but that could be an incorrect impression of mine.
I bet that ladies are more courageous as patients than men. I'm I right?
Good work, Connor, as always. Thanks to you and your lovely client! 🌟
Hi Conor 🤗hope you're going okay 👍This was a very challenging case..especially knowing that you had cleaned them out not long ago.Thanks for sharing Conor and take care ❤️
Watching that sheet of wax just peel away intact was satisfying to watch
no clue how I got here but that was satisfying
Same
I only remember one time when I had yellow wax in my ears. I have always had a crust that looks like a burnt match. If u light a match blow it out and scrape the ends of the burnt match. That’s what comes from my ear. When I was little I would lay my head in mamas lap and she heated vitamin E oil in a spoon with a lighter. She would drop small drops of warm oil in my ears then she would take a Bobby pin and clean my ears out. She would do this every week. I usually would fall asleep in her lap. Loved it when she did this. Now my daughter will clean my ears. I would also clean my kids ears when they were growing up

Why am I watching this at 4:47am???? This helps me go back to sleep 😴
This is the singular most satisfying video I've ever seen on the Internet in 34 years.
This man probably heres on 4k hd surround sound now. I need an ear doctor now so i can get this level of healing
I am 60 years old today and I had my ears checked by my doctor yesterday and she said I didn't have any wax and that my ears were squeaky clean.
Happy Belated Birthday Kathy, I Hope You had a Great Day.
@@viviennejordan215 Thank you!
I have psoriasis in my ears and this is a regular problem I have . My nurse practitioner just uses a syringe rinse which helps but never really returns my hearing totally. I wish I had a specialist like this to truly take the time to clear it out.
Of course the bubbling helps. What's happening is that the expansion of the liquid into gas is applying significant mechanical lifting or separation to any tissue the bicarbonate solution is absorbed into or gets behind. . The expansion of liquid to gas is a many- times volume reaction. This also helps the liquid get further behind the tissue.
I realized I was holding my breath till the end to see if he was going to show his treasures. WTF has youtube done to me?
That sheet coming out intact was incredible to watch.
My first time using mineral oil left me deaf in one ear for a few days until i tried again and got a wax impression of my eardrum to float out with the oil,
okay, I'm really upset that I didn't have popcorn, Reese's Pieces, and a big soda from 8:20-8:50. That was awesome.
Have you ever had an ear where patient reports the feeling of something very hard, like a stone, next to the eardrum? Seen with camera, nothing noticeable but feels like something very hard is there.
That was very satisfying. Hope the patient got their full hearing back
