I know that this patient must be relieved to finally be in good, capable, caring and dedicated hands. I can't wait to see the 6-month follow up appointment. God Bless you Mr. B.
This brought back memories of my Dad who had a mastoid operation when he was about 19. He was so scared of hospitals he never went back for it to be cleaned out until he was over 65! Now that must have been a challenge!
I was just hospitalized for a week for a mastoid infection. Turned out to be staph. I had to get sent home with an intravenous iv to continue antibiotics. Can’t begin to tell you how painful it was, even the healing process. But let me tell you, my ent surgeon was so impressed with how much I knew and it was because of you! Love your Videos and thanks for teaching me so much! (Even though I’d rather not use that knowledge for personal experience lol)
This patient is a gold star winner for being able to sit and take all of that tugging on that skin in his bad ear. I hope you will film him again when he comes back to finish what was started.
I wonder if it helps that he has so little hearing in that ear, because he might not find the suction as concerning as other patients? But considering how long it's been since anyone got in that ear, he certainly is a champ for sitting that long.
@@MsZoedog66 oh yes, but I think Rhys has mentioned before that aside from the physical sensation, some people find the suction really loud and that's bothersome to them.
Rhys, not only are you THE BEST audiologist on RUclips, you have set the bar for providing both an entertaining and informative experience for the viewer. You have such a lovely and refreshing demeanour. Please keep up the good work!
It has now been 7 months since Mr B. did this extraction which means that he has either done it or is about to do the follow up appointment. I REALLY HOPE WE GET TO SEE A VIDEO OF IT!! 🌹
I can't imagine what my right ear looks like by now. I had a mastoidectomy done in 1995 in an attempt at treating Meniere's. They NEVER told me the area would need to be kept an eye on or cleaned. I have not had a cleaning done on it ever. Now, it's actually painful to touch anywhere around the ear, and I can feel that it's badly impacted. I am so thankful you could give this man relief. Amazing job! I wish you were my doctor.
I had a mastoidectomy on my left ear, and I have to get it cleaned out 3 or 4 times a year. I've always been afraid to watch them do it (on the video screen), and it really set my mind at ease to watch this!
@@ashleyc8373 It's not wax, it's debris and discharge. I don't have an eardrum or ossicles, just an open hole to the mastoid cavity, so it sheds skin cells and what not, and sometimes has a mild infection. Regular cleanouts keep it in decent shape. Not usually painful (often feels like scratching a big itch!). Sometimes the discharge is a little smelly.
I think Rhys has used the term _”lovely”_ to describe every single patient he’s ever had. Can’t recall 1 video where he uses a different adjective or refers to them as anything other than: _Lovely gent. Lovely lady._ or _Lovely patient._ 😆 hahah I just absolutely adore it!
I know I've told you before, but it's been awhile. But I really appreciate how you explain everything. & Your enthusiasm for your job is so contagious for your fans! I know I just love to listen to your program! & I appreciate Taylor helping out too! Thank you for all you do for these people! I would bring my elderly Mother in if we were in 2 hours apart (more or less). But we live in America. So we'll have to find someone a bit closer.
How did he avoid getting a second severe infection in that second ear?? He's soooo lucky!! I REALLY enjoyed the second ear! I love the longer, more complicated ones. Thank you, Rhys and patient!
Very interesting case. Thank you to yourself, Rhys and to the lovely patient and looking forward to seeing his ear in 6 months' time because I'm sure everybody would love a follow up.
OhMyGarden!! I think this one is my all-time fav. Amazing how this never got infected again. I am happily shocked, this poor patient. 😱 PS. All that dead skin looks like egg white with custard to me. 😳 Great job Rhys.
It's a rare thing, but it made me feel a bit ill, it was 'Icky.' I did have a big pasta meal earlier on. I'd prefer to see His next visit, when it has dried out a bit. Mastoid Cavity removals are the longer videos that I really enjoy. Thank You Rhys, have a Good week, Take Care.
When the mastoid bone is removed is it possible to replace it with some type of artificial bone so the ear canal can retain a bit of its normal shape? I’m very curious to hear what you have to say. 🤔
I love these. This is pretty much what I dealt with on my mastoidectomy. Except mine became infected and leaked lots of nasty stuff. Took a number of years to find the right specialist but now it's clear and dry. Get minor skins issues every 12 months but nothing the ENT guy can't solve with some microsuction.
Rhys, thank you and this patient so much for sharing this very informative video. I have a small suggestion, if you wouldn't mind. When this patient comes back in, please edit in at the beginning of the next video a little footage from the end of this one so that we can remember what it looked like now and see the difference and the value of your advice. I actually wouldn't mind seeing the whole video again, with the followup after it, but that's because this channel is my absolute favorite to watch. As others have mentioned, your professionalism, your genuine care for your patients, and your enthusiasm for your work shines as a tremendous example to not only your colleagues but to all of us who serve in the health care industry in some manner. Thank you for that, too. Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay the lovely gentleman that you are. From Utah-USA to Wales, hurrah!
I had a radical mastoidectomy due to an advanced cholesteatoma when I was about 12 years old. I'm 40 now and have to get my mastoid cavity and middle ear cleared of debris, dead skin and wax once yearly now. It used to be once every 6 months and before that once every 3 months. It's been a crazy experience and there's been some painful and bloody cleanings as that skin really sticks to the flesh and bone. I've found that cortisporin for a week before my appointment really helps soften it up and makes things easy to simply suction out. Being that most of my eardrum is gone it makes for a dizzying experience sometimes. Thanks for the awesome video!
@@SonOfZeuz I do have some noticeable hearing loss but I do have some strange side effects as well. If I hold a small speaker up to certain parts of my sinuses and press them into my face or by my nostril the sound travels into that ear and it sounds like I have a headphone in that ear. Certain low frequency sounds also seem to vibrate in that ear strangely and sometimes loudly and it can sometimes make me feel off a little. Also, I won't put my head underwater because of water reaching my middle ear and causing vertigo.
I had a radical mastoidectomy and once I had a piece of wax hitting my semicircular canal through my eardrum so the world jumped everytime I swallowed. It was very weird.
Oh my goodness! Over 8 centimeters! Wow! I thought you were never going to finish! You need to record when this patient comes back because I HAVE to see how it heals. I can’t believe how much was in there! How in the world did this patient live like this, with his ear plugged up like this? This is one of the hardest ones you’ve done, since I’ve been watching your channel anyway! Wow!
Wow! It's like a cavern in there; with the guy and the removed mastoid! Does he realize he is a SuperStar on this channel. So interesting, so time consuming, God Bless him for sitting through this! What a trooper! Can't wait for the return visit--I'm guessing it will be more manageable! Wonderful job Rhys!
Wow, you really delivered on your promise of a good video. Hope the patient will keep up a regular maintenance schedule to avoid this in future. Cheers from Maine.
This was very interesting! What a peel!!! I hope that when your patient returns, you’ll follow up and show us his next cleaning. Keep up the good work!
I wonder if they'll have the patient use bicarbonate drops for a few days before the return visit, or if it's better to keep the ear as dry as possible right up until his appointment.
OMGoodness! That was outstanding work to remove all that debris so carefully and give this gentleman such relief. Thank you for educating us about this condition…you never know who it may help down the road. Blessings to you and Mrs.B
WOW!! Epic is right. Trying to remove the wax in the second ear was like herding cats, that stuff was dodgy. I can’t wait to see his 6th month checkup. Mr B, you are so protective of your patients. You said it was through no fault of his own & he was a lovely gent, you blessed him. You are very nurturing to all of the patients. Well, Mr B, you are a lovely gent too, bless your heart!💙🤍💙🤍😷😷😷
I’ve had mastoiditis and indeed, it hurts worse than I ever imagined!! Somehow I’ve gotten away from watching this channel as religiously as before & I’m reminded again why I still love it! Fascinating medical information and a caring provider who enjoys interacting with patients and weirdos like me on the internet! 🙃 Thank you again Mr. B!
I wish I had you when I was going through repeated mastoid infections and having my my incredible pain not only ignored, but I was also accused of making things up for drugs when the infection and swelling were SO obvious, even to non-medical people. I suffered for years! Granted, I have brown skin and a uterus, so I was not entirely surprised so much as incredibly disappointed and angry at having to suffer active disrespect and neglect on top of the misery of pain and infection at the VA. Thank you for acknowledging how painful this can be. I wasn't crazy. Also, I couldn't stop watching! It was enthralling!
I know this was two years ago, but this so far is one of my favorites. I can't imagine the frustration of being an audiologist is when it comes to this, but the satisfaction of both the audiologist and patient at the end seems so rewarding! Who would have thought that a person could carry so much debris in just one canal!!! Great job!!!!
I absolutely love how rapt Rhys is, I was on the edge of my seat! How fortunate this patient was to be in the hands of such experience and compassion. 💖
"This is immune even to turbo-wiggling." I'm sitting here laughing my arse off. That's soon to be a _classic_ Rhysism. (Edited to change "Barberism" to "Rhysism" since it's a much better term)
Rhys, this was a large job of clean out! Amazing!! That ear looked like a haven for infection and hopefully he will come back to you for follow-up. Great job 👍
Had my mastoidectomy in 93. I've had the inside painted many times with permanganate (bright purple) and a couple times silver nitrate. Luckily i don't seem to have a lot of skin slough or wax in there so it's easy to clean. I have had a couple of 5 year stretches with no issues at all. And I can still hear out of it amazing given the cholesteatoma was about an inch or 24mm across and ate into the bone.
Thank you so much Rhys. I hope we will get to see this patient when he returns. What a relief it must have been! Will he be able to hear at all out of that ear?
I just love the work you do. I swear I was an Audiologist in a previous life because I can't get enough of your videos. Please try and post longer ones. I love them
Oh my gosh!!! That was Amazing!! I couldn't believe it!! Bless their hearts!! Thank you Rhys and I pray the client is okay. Please let us know how they are when they come back. Have a good evening and Take Care 👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
That's earwax/skin removal Porn right there! I've watched Dr Zhao do hundreds of these and they're my favourite. It's great to see yourself do a cavity Rhys, as much as I love Dr Zhao I haven't a clue what he's saying so it was great to have English commentary.
This video is absolutely fascinating. Can you please record the follow up with him in 6 months. I am curious on the progress of healing of this patient. You did an amazing job. Thank you and hope to see a video with Tyler soon
My son used to get so many ear infections when he was 3-6. My pediatrician at the time was older and he put him on antibiotics for a month. 10 day 2x and the 1x a day for 20 days. He never had another infection. He said that the normal round doesn’t always get the part stuck in the valley so the extra 20 days helped it to get out. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you
Absolutely enthralling.. The excitement in your voice when you get the mountains of skin and debris to come out is infectious..i was holding my breath for you 😁 You rock Mr B Xx
I was told at the age of 22 that I’d need a double mastoidectomy but it was and still is a major surgery and I asked for a second opinion because I know the posterior auricular nerve is on top or goes over the mastoid bone and can cause the face muscles to droop if disturbed. Thankfully my second opinion didn’t think it was necessary. Did your patient have any facial distortion bc of his surgery?
Awesome awesome video!! I’m so glad the patient was able to get in and see you. I hope he was able to feel some relief in both ears. As much as I wanted to see more removed, the patient comfort and health comes first. I’m looking for to seeing the six month update 😊
Good morning to everyone from Adelaide South Australia 🇦🇺 Mr B that was incredible, what a job. And fantastic to watch really, was so different to Taylor's patient. How would it have stayed so moist without causing further infection?? Anyways everyone please stay safe ❤️🙏
Oh did I miss watching your videos Rhys! I got quite busy and stopped my regular RUclips vids. I miss your friendly, and excellent narration (along with the satisfaction of some good ear gunk!). You have a fantastic channel Rhys.
I've had a plagued of Covid in my family. Sorry for not keeping up with your videos . But, all is well with my family now. Happy blessings for yours. Finally, I'm back to your good work! Bless you and your family.
I am so glad to see this video! I had a cholesteatoma and had have a mastoidectomy 25 yrs ago. I have this problem sometimes but not always. Love your content!!!
Could you not use 0.5-1mm bigger tube on big white skin debri? Getting that bit more grip or even just purely better at sucking it straight up? Yes I understand its tight in there...
He’s sooo lucky he found you! I always find the mastoid cavity videos so satisfying, maybe because there is usually more skin in them. Can’t wait to see him when he comes back! 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸
OMG Dr. Barber that was a great Mastoid clean out!! Dr Zhoas usually end with so much more in the canal and you can’t see the ear drum they are so filled with dead skin and blood!
I know that this patient must be relieved to finally be in good, capable, caring and dedicated hands. I can't wait to see the 6-month follow up appointment. God Bless you Mr. B.

Sooooo funny
Lol, you said it!
Lmao 🤣
😂 I second that!!
Ha ha, I did grab my popcorn. Skinny Pop for the show! LOL!
Absolutely brilliant, thank you to the patient for agreeing to this being released. I can’t wait for 6 months to go by till we see what happens next.

Hope this client lets you video the removal in 6 months. This has been fascinating.
Absolutely enthralling.. The excitement in your voice when you get the mountains of skin and debris to come out is infectious..i was holding my breath for you 😁
You rock Mr B
Xx
That reaction to the second ear was hilarious. That fear and almost disappointment was so loud haha. I was like "wow that's way worse than that first
I think this is one of my best 1 so far that I like from you guys. This is cool I like this
I was told at the age of 22 that I’d need a double mastoidectomy but it was and still is a major surgery and I asked for a second opinion because I know the posterior auricular nerve is on top or goes over the mastoid bone and can cause the face muscles to droop if disturbed. Thankfully my second opinion didn’t think it was necessary. Did your patient have any facial distortion bc of his surgery?
Has this patient been back and is there an updated video?
That was great! Can’t wait til the client comes back!
Rhys, missed you on Friday and Monday. Hope all is well, sending prayers, a faithful fan.
Yes Rhys, I Hope You are All OK. I hope You're just busy, or that You could be interviewing new staff. Take Care, God Bless.
I can’t wait for the next removal lol n sixth months! Definitely one of my favorites yet. Keep up the great work guys!!
That was so fascinating and can't wait to see the follow up. She must be so relieved. Thank you for being so gentle and caring 💕
Hello all, @Audiology associates could you notify us when this paitent is back in would love to see it healed up and looking better. Thank you 😊
As long as you have notifications turned on you should know about new videos. He may mention when this patient's follow up is coming.
Did you get the rest out?
It’s been bugging me
Awesome awesome video!! I’m so glad the patient was able to get in and see you. I hope he was able to feel some relief in both ears.
As much as I wanted to see more removed, the patient comfort and health comes first.
I’m looking for to seeing the six month update 😊
My jaw dropped!! Bless that patient’s heart.
That was unbelievable! When I saw the amount of skin at the end my eyes popped out! WOW! What a relief! 😅 Thanks Rhys!
Why are the periods BEFORE Mon. Wed. & Fri.?
Good morning to everyone from Adelaide South Australia 🇦🇺
Mr B that was incredible, what a job. And fantastic to watch really, was so different to Taylor's patient. How would it have stayed so moist without causing further infection??
Anyways everyone please stay safe
❤️🙏
Thank You Dee, You Stay Safe too.

Oh did I miss watching your videos Rhys! I got quite busy and stopped my regular RUclips vids. I miss your friendly, and excellent narration (along with the satisfaction of some good ear gunk!). You have a fantastic channel Rhys.
Poor lamb. Am sure he’s now on the mend! You’re a wee gem
This is best one yet. Can’t wait for the follow up. Hope you do a follow up on this Patient. Great job. 💗💗
Pro of growing up with a dad who works in the medical field is I can watch literally anything while I’m eating 😂
Wow! You did a great job in removing a massive amount of dead skin! The patient must feel a lot of relief.
How do they not know that is in the ear ?
Right? You'd think it would hurt..
I've watched this one a few times.
Your sense of humor is perfect.
6 months is going to feel like forever now. I’m sure I’ll forget by then and be happily surprised to see the follow up.
I've had a plagued of Covid in my family. Sorry for not keeping up with your videos . But, all is well with my family now. Happy blessings for yours. Finally, I'm back to your good work! Bless you and your family.
I've been waiting ALLLLL weekend for this!!!
That poor patient! Thank goodness they came to you!! I’d love to come over there and train with you so I could do these procedures in the states.
Are you ok guys? No new videos lately ☹
They have Covid
Absolutely one of my favorites! I can’t wait to see an update from this one.
Forget the usual instruments... let's get an ice cream scoop!
I am so glad to see this video! I had a cholesteatoma and had have a mastoidectomy 25 yrs ago. I have this problem sometimes but not always. Love your content!!!
Some of this skin is so thick it looks like tripe.
I was thinking the same.
Said as much to my 40 year old daughter who was watching with me and then had to explain what that was.Tripe grossed her out but the ear didn’t.
What a wonderful thing you have done for this patient. Loved the narration.
Thank you.
That person needs to come more often.
Could you not use 0.5-1mm bigger tube on big white skin debri? Getting that bit more grip or even just purely better at sucking it straight up? Yes I understand its tight in there...
He’s sooo lucky he found you!
I always find the mastoid cavity videos so satisfying, maybe because there is usually more skin in them. Can’t wait to see him when he comes back!
🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸
OMG Dr. Barber that was a great Mastoid clean out!! Dr Zhoas usually end with so much more in the canal and you can’t see the ear drum they are so filled with dead skin and blood!
This was the best video EVER! Thank you so much for sharing. I truly enjoyed this video.
My god. That's insanely satisfying. Can't wait for the follow-up when the gentleman returns.
