2 Q-TIPS REMOVED FROM EAR - EP958

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.

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.

Qtip user here. Can’t stop won’t stop. I have no clue how any regular qtip user would miss the tip not coming out. If there is any color on the cotton I’m blown away.

[@rhino1876]

I know. I do oil but my ears they need that extra help. Can’t stop won’t stop I know I’m one of the people they hate 😂 oddly enough I think my ear stuff it hereditary because my grandma has it, then my mom, her siblings and I.

I removed a broken piece of a toothpick from my 92 year old dad's ear. It was in there for about 6 months before it started hurting and working its way out. He has always put anything in his ears to scratch them. It was more than a cm long. Thanks for your videos.

[@SarahJo-Obsidian]

I went into the ENT for a consult on my chronic nose stuffiness and a broken nose/deviated septum at 38 years old. I had used q-tips every single day my whole life (at least since like 12 years old) and he looked in my ears and said they were clean as a whistle and I am doing fine. “You shouldn’t use anything bigger than your elbow, but…you seem to be doing a-okay so keep up whatever you’re doing. Try to cut back on q-tips, though, because you really shouldn’t be using them.” Lol. Like, don’t do what you’re doing, but you are doing great nonetheless 🤷🏽‍♀️ As an aside, I’ve had cotton buds come out in my ear. How this person went any length of time like that is beyond me. I’ve gotten them out myself or had someone help me via tweezers.

1. This could happen with kids or people who are disabled. 2. It usually builds up over time as Q tips always lose some fibers and you don't notice that untill it's a clump of fibers.

So funny you talk about that at the end with middle ear infection. Because of you guys i didn’t freak out when I had one a couple of weeks ago. I had the flu pretty bad and got an ear/sinus infection and at one point my ears would not pop. I held my nose and blew trying to make them and heard the air bubble into my ear and omg. I’ve never heard anything like it before. But if I hadn’t been watching your channel for so long I would have panicked. Now I know that it can happen so easily with a cold and after two days they came right! Saved me a heap of stress and money at the docs haha.

@@Giiada20not only that, the feeling of it being in there is abhorrent. How did they not deal with it immediately?! I’ve had a few come off and I have gotten them out straight away with tweezers.

[@eldazamora4646]

I get the feeling european qtips are made with more loose cotton that is not very well attached to a very bendy stick, so yes they are different.

[@ruthe71]

I use a pimple popping tool to gently remove earwax from my own ears. It's a metal stick with a little metal loop at the end. I don't know if it would aggravate your itchyness or not, but it does help to remove the ear wax without leaving stuff behind. Just be very gentle when you use it to avoid hurting yourself as much as possible.

[@lizziekeen9663]

I was told by my doctor that I had the cleanest ear she had ever seen. I'm a qtip user. I only use name brand since the cotton is wrapped more tightly.

[@TH-eb5ro]

really depends on the method used. There are alternative options which are much safer.

[@Jangatroo]

Great video as always, thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽 I'm curious what the best alternative to Q-tips would be? I've been using them since childhood, and especially after a shower, the wax is loose and readily coats the cotton bud. There's not usually a lot of it, just enough to "color" the bud, occasionally there's a thicker chunk but it's rare. How else could I achieve the same results of clearing out my ears?

[@sa.moss4410]

Unless you overproduce ear wax or something you should only need to wipe the outside of your ear with a warm wet washcloth to clean off any ear wax that your ear has pushed out to the outer ear. Your ear cleans itself in cycles and pushes stuff out. If that doesnt work, however, you should put a few drops of olive oil in your ear and then lie down for a few minutes with the ear facing up so it goes into your ear. Then get a cotton ball or washcloth, put it against your ear, and lie down with the ear facing down so that the oil drains out. If that doesn't work, you're in see-a-doctor territory. Generally, unless there is something wrong, the itching and discomfort will go away after you stop using qtips for a while, and your ears will clean themselves naturally, and all you have to do is clean the outer ear.

They explained that it’s a side effect of having fluid build up in the middle ear (for example if you’re suffering from a cold, flu, or sinus infection)

[@cobravids]

I use qtips and always will. I cant say that i have ever lost a tip in my ear. I have never shoved wax into my ear like doctors tell you it will. Maybe its the way we use them but im 47 and have never had an issue.

[@therosefinch5674]

Questions: why is a dull eardrum NOT ideal? Are our eardrums supposed to be like- wet and shiny? What can a dull eardrum indicate? How do eardrums get dull- does it dry out or something? (Hopefully these are not stupid questions, would love to be educated on this!)

[@Justmegd]

Probably a really dumb question but where is the entrance to the Eustachian tube in this video? Is it visible or behind the ear drum? Thank you. ❤

[@sa.moss4410]

The eustachian tube is not visible. It is behind the ear drum and goes down towards the cavity between your nose/throat for drainage

You're becoming more like twins every day. I don't know what's more exciting...2 Reeces or 2 Taylor's. 😄 But a quick enquiry. When you're cleaning your ear with a cotton bud, surely when you've finished you inspect the end to see the prize. How can you not realise when you insert a cotton bud but pull out a stick?

[@lyannecb8499]

I wonder if she'd put oil in her ear and a ball of cotton wool to hold it in place? That's what my mum did when we were young, and I have to admit, that's what I did when my sons were young. But. I'd make to sure look for the cotton wool ball in the morning where it had fallen out onto the bed (because it wasn't pushed in, it was lying on top of the ear to stop the oil running down their neck as they fidgeted). Or remove it from the pinna.

[@Iflie]

Right? now they are making the paper ones the tip calls of easy though. I have to keep twisting them to make sure it stays balled up when I'm using one. The old plastic ones used to have a much tighter grip.

A question since you talked about it, if I may. My ears haven't pressurized correctly in years, I always have to do it manually when the pain/discomfort becomes too much and then I hear bubbles, and I'm fairly sure the reason is because of what you just spoke of. I've been dismissed when bringing it up with my doctor previously, and using de-swelling nosesprays doesn't help. Is there any solution to this problem?

I tried quitting q tips once. After almost 3 months, a giant glob came out on its own and I felt like my hearing in that ear doubled.

One of the best sensations ive ever experienced.

Do you use the Epley maneuver? That may help. My wife also gets vertigo spells for various reasons, so she tries to keep her ears clear. She has an at-home kit with some kind of oil that loosens up the wax- lets it sit for a few minutes and then flushes it out with a bulb. She uses lukewarm water, since too hot or too cold will also make her dizzy. Sometimes she'll do the process over a couple of days so she's not messing with her eardrum for too long

[@TheChelseaHanna]

I was either very blessed or very cursed with very moist ear wax. I don’t get build up like… ever. But I swear to god I can FEEL the wax forming and moving in my ears.

[@emmajumet7367]

I try not to use q-tips in my ears anymore, especially since rupturing an eardrum, but what exactly am I supposed to do when my allergies act up and nothing I've tried will ease the itch other than q-tips? I've tried ignoring the itch in hopes that it goes away, rubbing my ear from the outside, scratching with my fingernail, and a couple otc allergy treatments just to ease the reaction all around. There's usually little to no wax and it's just really really itchy.

Watching these videos makes me want to see someone who can clear out my ears. I can't help but wonder how much of my partial hearing loss is caused by possible blockages. 😖

What happens if you don’t produce ear wax?

[@BKStarlet08]

It’s our body’s natural way of clearing out debris from our ears and keeping it moisturized. If your ears don’t do that, you’d probably have to use a certain type of ear drops every day for the rest of your life

I must admit that I am a quip user too. But, my ear wax is and always has been the palest yellow color and very papery. Is this normal? I live in Idaho which is a very dry area. I can’t imagine any possibility of losing an ear Bud in my ears.

How do you lose q-tips in the ear?
