My Dad had a mastoid operation when he was 19, unfortunately no one advised him to have his ear checked regularly. 50 years later he had it cleared (at the hospital) for the first time! He did say he felt a bit dizzy afterwards 😂
Back in 2002 I had a tumor removed from the mastoid in my left ear and 3 years later it came back and a different surgeon removed that one and botched it and I've lived with chronic pain every single day since then I had 6 surgeries trying to fix what he messed up but they could never fix anything to relieve my pain
Your videos never disappoint! Rhys you and Taylor have the best rapport and wax remocals on all of social media. You provide medical terms with an easy undestanding of what is going on. Your genuine concern for your client and the banter with youself and Taylor is epic.
OMG the end shot of all the pieces looked like the results of an ancient dig! I was all tensed til the end and shocked at the last bit…but then again you are the master!
Mr B, you had us at mastoid cavity, then add: it almost beat me, hardest removal I’ve done! Only the house on fire could have made me leave before the end!! Fantastic & I do hope you gave your arms a full rest & massage! Thanks Mr B🩵🩵🩵🩵
Wow! We have a saying here " é como pôr o Rossio na Rua da Betesga" , that means putting de huge Rossio Square in a tiny and narrow street like Betesga street, both in Lisbon...so, a huge plug for a narrow and curved space..I could imagine the struggle 😅😅but you really made it, you removed Rossio from Betesga street!! 🎉🎉
I had a mastoidectomy 30 years ago, been getting my ear cleaned since then every 3-6 months. Had never seen what the inside of my ear looks like. This video explained so much. Especially when you explained why I get so dizzy when the doctor uses suction. Ten seconds of suction can send me to the floor with dizziness. Thank you for this!
I love that you get so excited when things work out. I think you are a dedicated person who only wants the best for your patients. ❤ That's why I watch you and Taylor whenever as I can. Thank you for all the information this time. Marilyn. USA NH
I wish all Doctors had as much compassion as you and Taylor do. Amazing men. Thank you for sharing your videos, I have learned so much about the ear. ❤❤❤
Would it be possible to show to the size of your tools compared to the rulers? Obviously they look enormous with the aid of the in-ear camera, but I would be interested to see their actual size. Thanks! ❤❤
Wow that was a battle!!! Well done Rhys. Thank you for answering a question I asked a long time ago, (not sure on which channel though) about if a client has feeling in the ear after a mastoidectomy. Plus I got to find out that clients with mastoid cavities are also prone to the Arnold reflex too. So much to learn all these years later 😮 I love it ❤
Thank you so much for being the way you are. When you mention dry skin I always think of my late mother. She could drag out large large pieces of dry skin almost every day. No help from doctors and none like you. She did it herself for years with a hair clip. 🤷♀️🥺
Major kudos Rhys for sticking with it and getting the job done. Poor gent must feel so much lighter now that all of that was removed from his cavity. Good on you for a job well and thoroughly done.
As difficult as you described it to be, on video you made it look easy. You once said we don't like getting beat on this channel. Your reputation is in tact as I knew it would be. Take care. LOVE the long ones.
You are a rock star in the ear canal world. I wouldn't have blamed you if you had retreated to fight another day but you pushed on and you won that battle. I'm sure the patient is extremely appreciative of all you hard work and perseverance.
Watching from South Arkansas in the USA. You are so funny when you get all excited. I love watching your channel and adore your accent. Never stop making your videos they are great!!!!
I've had multiple sets of tubes, a mastoidectomy, a stapedectomy, and most recently got the cochlear osia implant so this is especially cool for me to see other ear canals that look similar to mine! Thank you for posting this!
Wow! Best Removal Ever. I am a massage therapist-if I could fly across the pond I would give you a free massage. I can't imagine how many adhesions (knots!) you have in your neck and shoulders! When you find yourself all locked up and tense, take a hand towel, wet it with warm water and put it in your microwave for 1-1:30 sec.. Cover with a dry towel to hold in the heat because it will cool off quickly. Then, ever so politely to ask Mrs. B. to give you a neck and shoulder rub!! 😁🤩😴. Love from the US!
Great suggestion to make a cup of tea first Rhys! Thoroughly enjoyed this one, along with the Shakespearean facial expressions and gestures 😅 Will be saving this, it deserves to go into the library of fame ❤
Thanks for this extremely difficult ear wax removal procedure. It was very interesting and informative and so so hard to do. My sincere compliments to you Rhys for helping this patient. Your professional support here was outstanding!!!!! Thanks ever so much for helping this patient. I know they are grateful for your work. Outstanding video Rhys. Hard on you I know. Great job. Iowa here. Steve. ❤️❤️😊👍👍🇺🇸
I had my mastoid bone removed 42 years ago and have never been advised to get my ears checked out. I was riddled with ear infections and nearly died through being misdiagnosed. I haven’t had many ear infections since though.
Rhys, could you please start using Neel Raithatha new ear wax removal tools? I think you would be surprised as to how much they will help you in cases like this. Please, I can’t wait to see other audiologists start using them. Since you are one of the best, it would be exciting to see you use them! Thank you! ❤
This is my first video on your channel. I found this fascinating. He definitely needed to get in way earlier than two years. I hope he gets relief, and continues to do his 6 month follow ups
Rhys I always appreciate the difficult ones, because I can only imagine how much relief the patient must feel. Awesome human being you are sir. I salute you! 🫡❤
You Sir, explain things in such a way that it is exciting to watch/ listen as you do this. Thank you for sharing. I hope the patient will be back more often to avoid such a difficult workout. See you in the next one. ( Florida USA)
My 92 year old mother had a mastoid and it’s always a challenge when she goes. We try to go every 9 weeks and it’s still a challenge! Thank you for all you do!
Rhys, you are sooo dramatic 😁 I can have the worst day and I only need to watch your videos. You make me laugh so hard!! Thank you for that. Great job 👏👏
Oh Rhys I don't know how you managed that, you've the patience of a saint this was like burnt on melted cheese that had been left stuck to the pot for a couple of days, it looked like it was ripping the skin off along with it, I felt so bad for you tackling this, but hats off your amazing at your job and that's why we love watching yourself and Taylor. Have you tried Neels new Riscope yet? I've seen Connor's review of Neel's new audiology tools and just wondered if you'd had a go at using them?.
My husband had a mastoidectomy when he was 11, it was revised when he was 24, he's now in his late 30's. He has his ears cleaned out every 3 months with the nhs, they always tell him to put olive oil drops in twice a day for 3 days before his appointment, probably to avoid this type of scenario. I can't imagine his being left for 2 years, I don't think he'd be able to hear anything if he left it that long.
In the US, the preferred wax removal method appears to be irrigation; yet, the UK audiologists, such as yourself, seem to prefer tool extraction. Is there a particular reason or advantage to one method over the other?
We knew you could do. How did we this. You have a lot of patience.😮 Most people would say sorry can't do it. Some people aren't as skilled as you or patient.😊👍❤️
Rhys Barber is the Iron Man of Audiology. No wax is too tough, no canal too narrow!
What about the ear pick and currette of Mr Neel Raithata?
Would this have made removal easier?
Taylor would have got it in under 10.

With I heard Marvin Gaye singing "Ain't no mountain high . Ain't no valley low" lol
😂😂
Rhys is like the best ever sports caster of ear removals. I love your analogies too. Spot on
Is English your second language?

@@jameswallace7351 ear pain through an infected mastoid bone is agony. Can a surgeon not remove the bone altogether?
I'm going to warm up my tea now. I didn't touch it because I was so engaged with this.
I love these. Thank you Mr. B.
Good grief the ear that fought back
I am so glad you hung in there, Rhys! That was a tough one. I'm sure the patient was delighted that you were able to remove that huge plug.
Good heavens, that must've been exhausting! This patient was very lucky to have had a skilled audiologist to remove all this! Awesome job, Rhys!
And THAT ladies and gentlemen is a pro at work!
Your videos never disappoint! Rhys you and Taylor have the best rapport and wax remocals on all of social media. You provide medical terms with an easy undestanding of what is going on. Your genuine concern for your client and the banter with youself and Taylor is epic.
OMG the end shot of all the pieces looked like the results of an ancient dig! I was all tensed til the end and shocked at the last bit…but then again you are the master!
You too? I was grabbing the seat cushion & pulling every time it seemed he would get the last bit.

I like how you pause briefly as you pull the chunks out so we can see the amount of wax more easily as it’s removed as well as at the end. Great job!

Ha! It didn’t beat you!! I can only imagine how much relief the patient felt after that monster was out. Great job!

Maybe even a video going over all the tools in the arsenal and the sizes of them
Forgot your curette?
He has done this in the past! I don’t remember which video; but. He has shown them and gone through what’s what and why.
Was thinking the same 😁
Why don't he use a pair of tweezers to pull out the really hard wax?
Wow! Congratulations for getting that out. Patience, aching shoulders & arms paid off. You need a massage after that Rhys 👏❤️

Nothing is to hard for you Rhys!! Absolute beautiful. Now, the hard part is to get the patient to come back every six months.
Thanks Rhys! WOW! it’s cute when you get the giggling too
Watching from South Arkansas in the USA. You are so funny when you get all excited. I love watching your channel and adore your accent. Never stop making your videos they are great!!!!
I love how excited he is to see the big peels!
That was an edge of the seat episode!!! Really impressive 😊😊😊
I worked up a sweat watching that! We’ll done, Mr. Barber!
I love it when Rhys says "look at that!"". Great job as always. You need a superman outfit...
I've had multiple sets of tubes, a mastoidectomy, a stapedectomy, and most recently got the cochlear osia implant so this is especially cool for me to see other ear canals that look similar to mine! Thank you for posting this!
So proud to be a hearing healthcare provider. Mr. Rhys B is a shining example of a great provider.
What a tough removal. Patience and a strong will were needed for sure. Great job, Rhys !! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤❤❤

The patience and persistence you show are incredible
The moment of no return was brill! Your skill and tenacity are laudable. Pints all round! 🇨🇦
I was holding my breath for this one.
Great job! What a challenge. This patient was lucky to have the best Audiologist care for him.
Great suggestion to make a cup of tea first Rhys! Thoroughly enjoyed this one, along with the Shakespearean facial expressions and gestures 😅
Will be saving this, it deserves to go into the library of fame ❤
I love your excitement and enthusiasm for this even though you were the one carrying out the procedure in the first place 😊😂

Awesome one Rhys, I just love a Mastoid cavity cleaning. Poor patient though😢
Great to see that you get excited like we do when you are narrating. Fascinated by the skin peel. Thanks for a great video

You should get a medal or something. You are so patient. Are you a stubborn person? You don’t give up. You did a great job!
And the Good Guys win again!! ✌🏻🎨☕️
I had a mastoidectomy in 1976. I was never told to get it checked every 6 months. I had one ear vacuuming and it felt amazing.
Great job. Would i make sense to shorter the follow up window to even less than 6 months?
Wonderful to take this arduous journey with you, Rhys! ❤
My 92 year old mother had a mastoid and it’s always a challenge when she goes. We try to go every 9 weeks and it’s still a challenge! Thank you for all you do!
That was crazy hard! Nicely done, Rhys!
I love how much you love your job! And your narration makes me feel all the feels when you're working. Who knew ear wax was so intense!?!
Difficult, but so satisfying and great peeling action, Rhys! Excellent job!💖👏👂
That was brilliant Rhys I love the mastoid cavity earcwax removals. They are so interesting and complex. We'll done.
Wow that was a tough one! Great job Rhys!
Rhys, you are sooo dramatic 😁 I can have the worst day and I only need to watch your videos. You make me laugh so hard!! Thank you for that. Great job 👏👏
One you of greatest piece's of work I've Ever seen Mr. B. Bravo!
You did a incredible job! ❤❤
Oh Rhys I don't know how you managed that, you've the patience of a saint this was like burnt on melted cheese that had been left stuck to the pot for a couple of days, it looked like it was ripping the skin off along with it, I felt so bad for you tackling this, but hats off your amazing at your job and that's why we love watching yourself and Taylor. Have you tried Neels new Riscope yet? I've seen Connor's review of Neel's new audiology tools and just wondered if you'd had a go at using them?.
Your hard work paid off Rhys! Good job!
Does the wax and skin oxidize into that darker color almost immediately after removal?
I have found my new favorite channel. That was fascinating! Thank you for the play-by-play. 😊
Wow. Just.. wow. Rhys is superb.
My husband had a mastoidectomy when he was 11, it was revised when he was 24, he's now in his late 30's.

I have been waiting for a mastoid removal. It was worth the wait!! Nice job, Rhys!
Bravo! I am so appreciative of how you teach us and take the time to post these videos. Well done sir.
I love how he gets so excited when's big peace comes away
Great job! I'm sure your patient is feeling much better!
Awesome video Rhys and great perseverance!
I think I heldmy breath the whole time! Good job Mr. B!! Your reputation is indeed, still intact! 😊😊😊
How satisfying to watch. You were once again able to make it a good day for him 👍☺️
Lol I’m laughing at the defeat on Rhys face at the beginning 😂thank goodness he won
In the US, the preferred wax removal method appears to be irrigation; yet, the UK audiologists, such as yourself, seem to prefer tool extraction. Is there a particular reason or advantage to one method over the other?
I know the patient appreciates your doggedness at getting all of that stuff out of his ears.😊
That poor guy must have been suffering, well done for not giving up. I hope he takes your advice!
Rhys you're the man!! You persevere and get the job done! Kuddos to you❤❤😊
Rhys went to battle. I love your excitement!
That was incredible. Bless your heart. Arms deserve a break for sure
Hello Mr.B 🙋🏽. Relax and catch your breath. You got it done ‼️👊🏽👍🏽💯
That was AWESOME 🤘🏻❤ I could watch this all day, for real! 😎
What an amazing job. Absolutely incredible 🎉❤
Excellent video. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Thank you. ❤
Thank you, Mr. B! Now I can go to sleep in peace.. That was intense! You did a good job removing that plug
Absoultly a life saver this guy as he knows what can occur he is brilliant with great knowledge 👏
Oh my goodness ,,,,well done .im sure this patient is so much happier than before
I know that you probably condense the actual appointment but how long was this gentleman sitting in the chair? Must have been a real trooper!
Love your channel. Take care and stay safe.
Pain staking work. Good job!
i don’t know if you’ve already addressed this, but why do you measure the wax in cm instead of mg?
Such anticipation.
Im on the edge of my seat,. Lol
I really enjoy your videos. Can you turn up the suction on the vaccum tube?
Amazing extraction!!
We knew you could do. How did we this. You have a lot of patience.😮 Most people would say sorry can't do it. Some people aren't as skilled as you or patient.😊👍❤️
