I followed standard medical advice and stopped cleaning my ears with Q-tips and quickly ended up with BL wax impactions! It was the worst thing, to be losing your hearing and you get very nervous when you can't hear what is happening around you. I left my appointment a totally different person- went from hunched and nervous to standing tall and smiling just because I could hear! The impact of hearing loss is much greater than I ever knew. The doctor told me to go back to cleaning my ears out like I always did.

Thank you for helping the special needs patients. They're the ones that can't complain and be understood.

Thank you for sharing. Very interesting. Nice clean outs, your patients must have been so relieved to hear again. I had no idea the vagus nerve in the ear could make you cough.

Brilliant clean outs, thank you for sharing. I’m sure your patient’s are always relieved to hear a bit better.

In my first two years of medical school (about 100 years ago), the ENT who came in to do the majority of our ENT lectures SWORE that in the first week of his ENT residency, he triggered Arnold's nerve in a patient and in put the patient into v-fib. Everyone who heard that lecture freaks out when a patient starts coughing when we're going anything in the ear.

OMG! That's so much ear wax. I'd love to be the one picking it out.

I have a theory on why these things are so addictive to watch and i am grouping this in with for example acne extraction and stye removal. I believe that it is an old instinct we have encommon with for example bonobo chimpanzee with become almost in a state of trance we groom eachother just like they become hyperfocused on the painstaking process it creates a pleasure response in our brain because at one time grooming eachother like thats was necessary for social survival in the group. Just a little armchair antropological psychology.

I have really narrow ear canals. So about once a year I have to get my ears cleaned out. I've had almost every technique possible to do it.

This voice is ideal for reading materials and stories for relaxation. So soothing and mellow… 🥱😴 The vagus nerve (10th cranial nerve) actually travels throughout most of the body. It runs along the digestive system and has been identified as a possible agitator to conditions such as IBS. It’s also thought that migraine syndrome could be affected by this nerve. The third patient just had the sweetest voice. She seemed like she would be a very kind patient to have, very attentive and interested in doing what she could to prevent these types of appointments.

Gosh I had a relatively small compared to these lol wax ball stuck in my ear one time and it hurt crazy bad I can’t imagine how these people felt.

I have a friend who puts peroxide in their ear. She says it helps keep it clean.

I'm coughing just thinking about it

Much better than pimple popping

I'm an ear cougher too! My wife looked it up because I had no idea it was weird.

With all due respect, I mean that sincerely, do you ever gag at what comes out of ears? I don't understand why I keep watching even when I find the stuff disgusting, it fascinates me. Maybe it's just your voice and how calm you are. 😅

Now for the patient with the cough, maybe if the doctor could have tried to apply a minimum amount of fluid for wax removal, could it have possibly made it a bit easier on the patient even if having to remove it in smaller pieces? 🤔 my ears stuggle to produce wax most of the time but constantly feels as though my ears need to be cleaned for the amount of ear wax in this first patients ear it'd take possibly maybe around 2 to 3 years without cleaning my ears at all

It always amazes me what people live with in their ears or nose. People that have a ton of nose hairs or ear hair. Me personally I clean my ears twice a week and have a bebird for looking into my ears and they stay extremely clean and I have terrific hearing. If people spent more time detailed in their showers and such this would be easier I think

When I was a kid my doctor would get mad because I would start coughing when he started looking in my ears.

Poor guys are like my husband. He has large canals, makes loads of wax, and it plays the devil with his hearing aids. I have small canals, make very little wax, and almost never have residue on hearing aids.

Interesting i didnt know that about the vagus nerve and i am an autistic person that hyper focuses on things i want learn now i am going to hyper focus on the nervous system in the ears. And i also must see this for myself it is a pretty funny party trick!

I'm coughing and it's so embarrassing..people always think the worst..God help me

Y'all should try tweezers made for this or just normal tweezer bc it looks hard to get all that gunk with clamps

people who cough during ear cleaning are dangerous and very risky to handle... especially when you're holding something sharp or pointy, so so close to the eardrum...
