Amazing how quickly and skillfully Neel removed the debris here. I think the patient would get instant relief from the procedure.

[@bdasswarrior]

The whole time that one infected ear was being cleared I was feeling the relief for them. That was one bad ear. Hopefully they are getting much relief now.

Hi Neel... great work!

[@kesaris2352]

Dr Neel, your videos do a great service to mankind. First, during this distressing time of COVID, it helps us to look at things in perspective. We should be thankful that our ears are healthy...our problems are meager compared to what these patients are suffering. Second, you put the products of your diggings into a scale, further giving perspective on the size of the ear wax taken out. Many people may be inspired by your videos to take up audiology course thinking they will dig out many such magnificent waxes; by putting the products into a scale, you are showing them reality that it is not so. It may be a crushing disappointment to aspiring audiologists, but better to face reality now than later when its too late to change careers. Never a good idea to choose profession based on youtube diggings.

How does one gauge as to whether they need their ears professionally cleaned out or not?

[@viviennejordan215]

Leave Your ears alone, they are Self Cleaning. Don't get water in Your ears, as it contains bacteria. If it Pools in the ear, as in the case of Craters in the ear, Swimmer's ear, Infection, then the bacteria will multiply, and lead to/ increase Infection. If You have a Perforated eardrum, Never let water into the ear. Always Ask Advice from Your ENT Specialist, or Audiologist.

[@viviennejordan215]

If there is pain, a feeling of fullness in the ear, blockage, a lot of itchiness, loss of hearing, get it Checked by Your Doctor, ENT Specialist, or Audiologist. There may be two and froing between them. In England, a Doctor isn't trained in Audiology, but can Refer You on to ENT, and can issue meds. An Audiologist can Check Your hearing, and Clean Your ears. But can't Dispense, or Administer medication or Anaesthesia. An ENT Can do Both.

[@colin7244]

I am by no means like the people in the comment section that talk about satiating, asmr, etc. I think it’s a good idea for patients to feel as comfortable as possible with their ear canal not being irritated by any infection that could cause the ear canal to be inflamed in red or irritated. I appreciate your effort on the patients with hearing problems or infections same for Connor an the other guy which you 3 are the main United Kingdom Audiologist KZbinrs out there that I watch when it comes to ear treatment.

I say questions are only stupid, if you know the answer. But at the risk of offending. Will the infected ear ever have any normality to it or not?. Please.

Depends on the severity. I'm no expert but this one looks like it will go back to normal (whatever 'normal' was before the infection) once the swelling subsides.

[@roseoneill3350]

I Agree with Munirah. It depends on whether the antibiotics work. Some have repeated infections, and some Bacteria is harder to treat.

[@dnellf]

Out of curiosity, do you have to sanitize the tools when moving from ear to ear if only one has an infection?

[@christinas4]

He said the pieces are disposable so I think he’ll use new ones

[@emily.g.929]

I would say yes. Although the ear canal isn’t considered “sterile” and it doesn’t normally need totally sterile treatments, the fact that the harmful bacteria/fungus from the infection could stick on the tools and if he works with another patient where they have a small scratch in the canal surface it could infect that wound. He probably disinfects with chlorine dioxide or chlorhexadine for cases like this and probably regular rubbing alcohol for the non infected ears. Speculation of course!

[@viviennejordan215]

They are Single Use, Disposable. It looked Clean, New, when inserted into the other ear. I would have thought that Both ears would be Examined before the Cleaning, So that the Infected one would be done last. But I don't know that. I do know that if Both ears have no infection, the Audiologist uses the same Suction probe. You will sometimes see only one ears extraction, on a video, and the probe has been used. That means that the other ear was probably not interesting enough, or didn't have much wax.

Hi Neel! How quickly does an infection like this grow and at what point should someone go and see you if they’ve been prescribed medicine from the GP? That question sounds crazy!

It is an option, but sedation can carry its own medical risk. It could interact with medications that the patient is already on. And if the patient wasn't planning on sedation they may not be able to get themselves home safely

Sedation is an option if the procedure is done in an ENT office but not at the Audiologist. Audiologists can't administer or prescribe drugs.

[@aspenpaul4115]

This is an old video so I doubt I'll ever get an answer but I was wondering if the patient might have keratosis obterans in that ear prior to the infection. The way they're was so many layers of coiled skin. And the ear looked "enlarged" to me despite it being edematous. Also when you pulled those large pieces from anterior and posterior gaps, I became concerned about the formation of colestotomas deep in those crevices. I was actually surprised Neel didn't mention KO, he's usually quite keen on diagnosing it.
