I love learning from you Mr. Raithatha. You're so brilliant! I'm just wondering why no one else has come up with the instrumentations that you have. You're an excellent Audiologist is the answer I come up with. You're an amazing human being as well. Anyone who follows your channel will know what I mean when I write you're a kind and considerate person who has a lot of empathy for his patients. Thanks! Lucky Tutor, CA, USA.

[@sarahkorver2439]

Every true word spoken ❤absolutely agree with you xx

[@jacquelyngravina3805]

Interested to know which instruments you speak of, specifically. Ty. 🙂

[@silvrfox2uBooboo]

If you get an update, will you post it please? We're very interested to know how she is now doing: she was really suffering with that right ear infection. It looked absolutely ouchy! Poor her! Very glad you could see her quickly! You ARE the best! Thank you for the love you show!

[@MarcieJohnston]

I rarely get shocked anymore, as i watch a lot of this kind of video. But my mouth dropped open and stayed that way for much of this! If this were a movie, the reviews would read, "multiple twists and turns. Will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing till the end." Excellent job! Thank you for what you do.

[@crazyasian7945]

No, no they wouldn’t, because we know at the end the wax is getting removed, there is no twists and turns.

Mr. Raithatha, Here is wishing you and yours a wonderful winter holiday season from Knoxville, Tennessee, USA. With your knowledge and kindness, had you so chosen, you would have been one of the top ENT’s in Great Britain. I’m always blown away with your experience, teaching, and expertise in your profession. I believe there are quite a few here in the states that feel the same way. Thank you so much for seeing this patient so quickly and hopefully they feel much better.

[@maryodwyer2567]

I love your commentary. It is so educational. I’m a retired nurse and you are an excellent instructor.

[@nanetterolph2972]

I am diabetic Neel and this was fascinating!!!!

[@juliadoherty83]

That looks incredibly painful. I'm deaf but can't watch with subtitles, as they distract me from the procedure, so I just watch. (My deafness is caused by tinnitus - I was in an incubator for six weeks and in those days they were noisy and babies weren't given ear defenders. I've never known silence.)

[@kelbee8974]

Patient was lucky to find such a skilled practitioner. Well done. Keep up your great work.

[@janicelaurin7263]

Thank you for helping this poor patient who was in so much pain. I hope the antibiotics help him. I don't think I produce any ear wax. Every time I see a doctor, they just always say the ears are clear.

[@debrajohnson8516]

You are one🎉 very accommodating clinician. I appreciate your efforts to help clients that are in significant pain Happy Holidays Neel🎉🎉😊

Very interesting!! Please keep us posted on patient's progress, if you are able. Best wishes of the season!!

[@papabear2515]

So glad you were able to help this patient feel so much better! You’re so talented and caring. Happy holidays and the best new year ahead!

[@jstedman74]

I love that you explain things so well. I have suffered from ear issues all of my life and was able to get some relief by watching your vids. I felt confident in declining irrigation, popular in the states for some reason. Turns out that dreadful form of treatment was making my ear issues worse! Thank you!

[@Sweetlittlehugs]

I had an ear infection this bad one time. It was incredibly painful. If she is able to get relief from this, that is awesome.

[@sarahkorver2439]

Oooh bless ya, I dont think there's anything worse than ear pain, the pain is excruciating xxx

[@dianneking3842]

Just fantastic! That was definitely the worse ear I have ever seen on your show. Poor man! I am in awe of your dexterity and professionalism. As far as I can see, and I watch alot of different earwax cleaning, you are definitely the best. And you do it while delivering a lesson about ear infection. Amazing!! I do wish you were in the states.

[@eddygonzalez2328]

As a Clinical Laboratory Specialist, I really appreciate your more in depth medical explanation. Yes, gram- leading to pseudomona is not good, specially with pseudonoma having a thicker wall and harder to treat. I never thought of an ear infection with Pseudomona. We always see it in lower respiratory infection. I don't remember getting a sample in Micro with ear wax and growing Pseudomona. But know that you mention it, I can imagine ending up with septicemia. That would be several days in the hospital with Iv antibiotics hanging on to life.😮

[@katreinhardt8417]

I was just about to write you myself (I’m also across the pond in New Jersey-very south Jersey thankfully!!!) and I’ve got an appt myself with an audiologist for ear wax removal. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve said “I wish I could fly to see Neel Raithatha to have him remove my ear wax” I’d be wealthy!!! You are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE on you tube. I can’t get enough. Thank you for giving such in depth understanding of why certain clients have certain conditions. You are brilliant! Hopefully I’ll get a chance to get to your beautiful country and pay a visit. Thank you for all of your videos-keep them coming (despite how busy you are. lol). Echoing the previous young ladies comments, have a wonderful winter!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PellyjellyMom]

This was so interesting. My husband is Diabetic and any information about any further complications he might develop is always good to know.

[@hainstol]

I had this type of ear infection once and thought I was going to die. My ear canal swelled shut and the side of my face swelled so much it was visible. So glad you could help her!!

[@janehelbert7551]

How awful for this patient! Thank you Neel for doing what you could.

[@allsortsdiane8086]

I was amazed when you posted this,stuck for word's,well & Truly stuck for word's. I can't count how many of you're video's I have watched, but this was on a different level. I'm sitting here absolutely dumb struck at this person's ear infection & the damage it has caused. I am so grateful to you for putting up this video, the time & effort you made to show us something that maybe a lot of other people, like myself have never seen before. You're patient must have left feeling so much better & I truly hope that this can be resolved for them very soon. TQ Neel for your time uploading this to show us it isn't alway's as easy as sofa audiologist's think it is. ❤

[@angelraburn4401]

I came to say the same. I’ve watched so many procedures however the length as to which he explains the complexity of diabetics and ear nostalgia along with the pathology blows my mind. Truly a professional and testament to the fact that each and every part of the body has so much information that it requires truly specialized care for each individual. I once was told by a dentist that if one doctor claimed to do all functions himself or herself be very cautious because there is absolutely no way they can know all of the procedures and treatments available . There is so much information that they could not possibly absorb all there is to know. Mr Neel shows us just how long he’s been studying and how much time he spends learning and researching and continuing education on his craft. Amazing.

[@FlissFloss2906]

Merry Christmas Neel! I hope this patient gets well soon. 10 years ago today I ended up in hospital with meningitis and it is not fun! So I hope that nothing develops for them. I love watching your videos. You have such a lovely smooth voice. I usually watch at night and your voice is so relaxing. I think you could do some sort of podcast just reading general stories or talking about you experiences as an audiologist for those of us that find your voice so relaxing! Merry Christmas everyone!

Mr Neel, I have a silly question 🙋‍♂️ lol I gotta know, when you’re doing a removal, are you all business, or do you explain to the patient what you’re doing and at what portion of the ear? I picture myself talking out loud, “Ohh, big piece, here it comes!” Or, “This piece is so stubborn!”. I talk out loud to myself a lot, especially at work lol I’m curious if you do the same? 😂 Hope you had a Merry Christmas (if you celebrate). I found your channel a few weeks ago because of my own ears and now I’ve fallen asleep to them for the last couple weeks lol

[@Dixy3]

Neal, what a horrendous situation this patients both ears are in. It looked very wet and messy with out of control infection that seriously needed antibiotics. I hope this person returns to you after completing the course of antibiotics to have their ears checked again. I also was expecting to see a cholesteatoma, possibly with damage in their inner ear. If this infection persists, an urgent visit to their hospital ENT surgeon and a referral for a skull and ears MRI scan might be the best preventative solution. That much wet in their ear and inner ear might be prudent to request an urgent scan to exclude skull bone erosion.

[@kantel133]

Didn’t you think the tympani on the second ear looked compromised?

[@NatalieHobson-ww2mx]

Oh wow! well done Neel!🙏👏 you have some VERY interesting cases indeed 👍🏻 I bet this patient was so grateful & felt such relief imagine with the correct Antibiotics how better they will feel wonderful just wonderful xxx 🙏🤗💜👏

Season’s Greetings and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones 🙏❤️ As I watched your videos over the past months and compared them to Audiology Associates whom I have watched for seven years, aside from the differences in style - Rhys and Taylor’s entertaining banter compared to your masterclass in ear anatomy, physiology, pathologies and client care, I keep wondering how there can be such a serious divide over the use of irrigation and getting water in the ears. Rhys often mentions that any residual wax will naturally come out with baths and showers. He uses irrigation, but seems to have given up the water tank for clearing the suction tube as he mentioned that each tube comes with a cleaning rod. He did mention the Rai curettage tools, but he doesn’t use them. Which brings me to the other burning question I have. How can Conor, though he gave a positive and humorous evaluation of the Rai curettage, perform ear wax removal and teach endoscopic ear wax extraction using only suction and irrigation? He confessed that he rarely if ever used curettage. I don’t understand. ??? I know you are sensitive to the specialists who use irrigation, but I think your profession needs to do a further examination of the risks and benefits of all ear wax removal techniques, tools, training and certification for the health and safety of the general public. Then that information needs to be conveyed to the public. Please forgive this rant and have a blessed holiday 🙏❤️
