Clinical Examination of Ear - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill
Ear Examination ENT is often a challenging examination, crossing over with the cranial nerve examination of the vestibular cochlear exam as well at other neurological assessments of balance
Here we will review the ear examination, looking both at the use of the otoscope, but also the Dix-Hallpike Manoeuvre, along with HINTS assessment. the Webers and Rinne's test is also included to determine types of hearing loss.
Often these ear examination techniques are performed separately, depending on the patients presenting complaint

Coming into the program I wasn't entirely sure of what to expect. We have a fairly wide scope of practice and as someone who has APD I am pleased to continue to learn more about all the different therapies that can be used to treat people with hearing loss, vestibular disorders, APD ect. Two of the girls in my program have congenital hearing loss so I would 100% encourage you to go into the field. You will have the first hand experience of knowing what it is like to have a hearing loss and it will help you to empathize with your patients. Definitely look into all the programs around you first and see what makes each one unique and what area within the realm of audiology you might want to concentrate most on.

My mom used to have paralyzing back pains. She told me once she's not going to be a crippled old lady that is a burden on her son. She started attending fitness / wellness sessions, fixed all the problems with her back. A few years passed, she recently finished her training to become a fitness instructor. She's gonna turn 60 next week, and my gift will be some cash to get the paperwork ready for her new carreer. And THAT is how you fix your back pains.

It’s their body, and the only way to engender trust is through earning it - especially for nervous patients. Treat everyone to the same good standard, no one loses from that
I really love that you explain what you are going to do and then get verbal consent....maybe it is a US thing, but it is rare that a doctor or nurse of any kind would ask for consent to examine. They usually just tell you what to do and you're left feeling you have no choice. It is super refreshing to hear.
This is 💯 why I got into ASMR in the first place!!!! When I was a kid, every year I’d get my ears checked because I did have hearing problems, and ear surgery in my youth. But when the doctor would whisper to me and put his tool in my ear to see what was wrong with my ear, he’d look inside my ear for honestly like 15 mins each ear and be whispering the whole time what he was finding. Ever since then, the tingles he would give me made me realize it was ASMR and that tool I’m so obsessed with cuz it felt good in my ear. So to conclude, Dr Gill using this tool and looking inside brings me great joy , I only wish he’d look in her ear longer and whisper to her what he sees LOL I just rewind that part over and over

Technically it should be left until the patient volunteers they can’t hear it without intervention. But I’ve found this makes a smoother examination
1:19 me looking out the window when I'm waiting for a parcel and I hear a noise outside.
The way he enters the shot at 1.20 scared the crap out of me.
I want this fella as my doctor he is so in-depth and knows his job well
Some of the stuff about your own body you don't even know could be wrong - watching these videos gives me hints as to what some probable ones might be. For example, I would never think that pulling your ear and it hurting could be sign of something, but if a Dr is checking for it - it could be. So, amazing.Thanks
Another great addition to my ASMR list. Abby is great too!
Medical examination videos are always being suggested to me by youtube as unintentional ASMR, like that's the reason that they exist, they are very good for that purpose but there must also be people who do actually watch them as part of medical training study
