Watch 'The Wax Whisperer' remove 22 foreign objects from someone's ear
Redeem now - Neel Raithatha is a UK audiologist who posts epic earwax-removal videos on his YouTube channel, The Wax Whisperer.
- His latest video, published June 28, shows the removal of 22 earwax filters from a single ear.
- The filters, or wax guards, are used to protect hearing aids from the damaging effects of earwax, moisture, and other debris, according to the Audiology Clinic of Northern Alberta.
- Certain types of hearing aids are more prone to earwax clogs, according to the Mayo Clinic.
- Raithatha wrote in the video's description that this patient's wax guards kept falling into the ear canal.
- In the video, he uses a suction device and a pair of tweezers to remove each filter one at a time — though a few come out stuck together by clumps of earwax.
- Watch the compelling five-minute saga in its entirety below.
