[@c.j.cleveland7475]

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the reasoning behind the funnel / tube he was working through? Seems it would have been much easier without it. 🤷‍♂

[@KayoEll]

In theory, it helps to dilate the ear canal (hold it open a bit so it's bigger), and to a smaller extent, reflects the light the make it brighter. In this particular case, it doesn't appear to me that it is far enough in the canal to be helping dilate the canal at all, and I agree it's more in the way than anything. I also would have instilled the oil directly into the ear (although I typically use medical-grade olive oil spray, which is easier to work with) rather than putting the oil in through the speculum (the term for the metal funnel). I wasn't there, though, so I don't know what it looked like in person, just what it looked like through the images.

[@raykincaid]

The speculum/scope device already had debris in it at the START of the procedure. What is going on? Implements are not sanitised or sterilised between patients?

[@drjent3350]

It means we started with the right and then moved on to the left ear, with the same instruments. All instruments are processed once they are used. One patient, one set is instruments.

[@sksmsdiprtmaktxj]

How ppl have that much size of earwax? Im just wondering is it some disease sth?? Not try to be mean to that person im just really curious

[@drjent3350]

It is a little different for everyone, small canals, hairy canals, q-tipping hearing aids, overproducers, dry skin. It honestly has nothing to do with hygiene.

[@lmallen6367]

Why do some use the funnel and others don't? Is it just preference?

[@drjent3350]

Great question. There are a few options for looking into an ear canal. The endoscope allows you to go inside the ear with but has limitations. The microscope looks into the canal from the outside so a funnel "ear speculum" is need to see inside the ear canal. I hope that explains the difference. I plan to do a demonstration on each of these options side by side so people can see the difference. Thanks for watching.

[@maggievanzyl4831]

I don't see anything that you take out of the ear?

[@exakaume5955]

hello doctor, has it ever happened that you unintentionally pierced an eardrum with your tools because of the patient making a sudden movement of the head for example?

[@drjent3350]

Never! The way I hold my instruments I brace a few fingers around the ear so if the patient moves there head my hand and therefore my instruments move with it.

[@lukeout1]

Hi Dr J! I wanted to ask a question that if you have too much wax buildup in the ear, could it cause dizziness and throw off balance? Thank you Dr J!

[@drjent3350]

No! Ear wax builds up in the external ear, then there is the middle ear behind the ear drum and then beyond that is the inner ear. The balance systems are in the inner ear.

[@c0olking]

hello mister. ive been trting to remove some from my own ear. im having trouble getting a big lump out. ive been using h2o2 max ~3% food grade to loosen and disolve the "wax". Ive also been trying a mist form of iodine inside my ear canal. Can you recommend another substance to loosen the wax? thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

[@drjent3350]

DEBROX, mineral oil, those would be safe and easy over the counter things to try. If all else fails have a trained professional help you. In America it is a insurance covered procedure.

[@cynthiawilson5066]

Olive oil for a week in each 👂 it is wonderful

[@drjent3350]

yes, olive oil is safe as well.

[@c0olking]

For a week? I think im misunderstanding you all. How do I keep the oil in there for a week? Can you elaborate just a tiny bit. Can i use coconut oil, aloe vera oil, flax seed oil or e-vitamin oil instead?

[@cynthiawilson5066]

Olive oil is the best

[@JoSeeFuss]

Why do you have the plastic piece in front of the ear?

What's the point of the tube?

You probably mean the ear speculum. It is a cone shaped funnel that allows you to see into the ear canal with a microscope. You are probably used to see other channels use an endoscope.

[@bluegill2030]

Why bother using the black cone thing, seems to make the job harder
