  • Ear wax removal for Chuck's left ear proved to require more irrigation than we could finish at the first visit. Although the right ear cleared fine with some curettage, the left will require another visit so we can charge up the Waterpik overnight. Be sure to catch the next video to see how the abrasions heal and to see the left ear finally get cleared.
    WE NEED AN ADDITIONAL PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT OR NURSE PRACTIONER FULL OR PART TIME, LICENSED IN CALIFORNIA.

    Your patients are always so pleasant...and you have a great bedside manner. I really appreciate that you have no problem showing the minor abrasions that can happen from the ear cleaning instruments, and explaining why it's so important to err on the side of caution.

    Many years ago when I worked in a doc's office, when patients called to make an appt to have ears syringed we instructed them to place some oil in each ear and then use a cotton ball, for 2 - 3 nights prior to their appt. The wax was generally quite soft and easily removed with irrigation - which in those days was a gigantic stainless steel syringe.

    I recently pulled out a giant chunk of cerumen with 3 wax filters in it. (The little white things on hearing aids) I really like the bionex lighted curettes!

    Why not have the spray bottle type ear irrigation system as a back up when the fancy one needs charging?

    • @auburnmedicalgroup
      @auburnmedicalgroup  7 лет назад +14

      That would work.

      Auburn Medical Group In my country (Poland) I haven't yet met an otolaryngologist that would irrigate with automated tools running on battery. It's always plain water and the syringe. But here microsuction is absent as well. It's interesting to compare different countries in regards of how they heal their patients. Anyway, the classical syringe is a really good backup.

    60 years ago, I watched a doctor use a solution mixture most likely hydrogen peroxide in warm water.
    With a rubber bulb syringe to flush the wax out.

    Yeah I had an "oops!" with a q-tip a few months back....yes I know we're not supposed to use them but it was just to dry the surface area just inside the ear. My hands were a bit slick from lotion and the q-tip slipped and plunged into my ear. OUCH!!! I haven't used a q-tip since, just a thin soft washcloth. I know....my bad! 😓😲
    P.S. I'm a huge klutz and once literally scraped my eyeball with an eyeshadow brush. I probably shouldn't be allowed to use anything. 🤣

      Not with mine.I have less wax as I get older.I loved it when the ear Dr.pumped water into my left ear when I was a kid.It was hard to dig out so he pumped it out.

    Why do you use the flexible plastic tool? With a metal tool you could have gotten that wax out in a jiffy.

    My ears have been so clogged, I KNOW I'm not supposed to stick anything in them, but I do(constantly) and it never gets better, nothing ever comes out.... I've tried EVOO, water, hydrogen peroxide... Should I just go to an ear doctor?? I'm really strapped for cash and I'm worried insurance won't cover it.

  • @carolinediane1079

    When I take a shower I allow the water to go into my ears when I rinse my hair. Last time I went to the doctor and he checked my ears he said they were very quite clean. Do these patients not allow water to run into their ears while showering? I have not had my ears clogged before and I am in my upper 50's.

      Age has little to do with it. Some folks's systems produce more oils, skin follicles , hair... plus living / working environments matter a lot as well.

    I once read somewhere that people with Atopic Dermatitis don't produce as much ear wax. And I don't have hardly any at all. Is that a coincidence or is it because of my eczema? What are you thoughts, Dr. Vaughan?
