Disgusting! People Getting Earwax Removed For The First Time

#1 Hairy Ears are Normal But Wax Clumps are NOT

Imagine letting this build up over the years in your ears? Gross!

#2 This is What a Dirty Ear Looks Like

The patients sit in a chair while the Dr. sticks a camera and cleaning device into their ears. In this case, the Dr. uses a small vacuum to aid in sucking out some of the was before he goes in for the actual removal of the impacts.

#3 She Had Hairs Protecting Her Ears Drums

Women don't think they grow ear hair, but in fact, it's fine and normally grows deeper in the ear opening and canal than it does in males. This can protect the ear from getting a build up of wax, but regular cleaning is recommended. The hairs help by pushing the wax out of the ear.

#4 Using Q-Tips is BAD

Q-Tips are the worst for wax-filled ears. They only push it in further.

#5 Special Tools

A special L-shaped hook is used to drag the wax from the eardrum.

#6 Large Wax Build Up Near The Ear Drum Is Dangerous

The doctor notices that this man has a build up directly around his ear drum, clearly someone who uses Q-tips to clean his ears. He will use his right angle hook to grab the wax and pull it out.

#5 Worst Case The Doctor Had Ever Seen

The thicker wax in the patient's ear was so bad that it clogged the doctors suction tool and he had to use a larger one. With the tool and large suction he was able to remove one of the largest wax build ups he had ever seen, despite the fact that the patient said he had his ears cleaned just a few years prior.

#7 He Could Have Lost His Hearing

The patients could hear much better after his nasty ear cleaning, but the process is disgusting and requires precise movements so that the ear drum is not damaged. A build-up of wax can cause hearing loss and sometimes results in patients going deaf.

Doctors recommend rinsing the ear out weekly with a saline solution or over the counter ear wax drops.
