Watch a doctor dislodge a giant clump of earwax using nothing but water
The INSIDER Summary:
- A doctor in California is uploading videos of his earwax removals sessions with patients.
- They are really satisfying to watch.
- The latest video features a technique called irrigation that uses water to dislodge stuck wax.
The human body can be really gross — but people on YouTube don't seem to mind. Millions of people flock to popular channels to watch videos of cyst drainage, pimple popping, pore strip removal, and joint cracking, just to name a few.
Here at INSIDER, we've noticed another genre gaining steam: Earwax removal videos.
The very best ear-cleaning sagas come courtesy of Dr. Mark Vaughan, medical director of Auburn Medical Group in California and — at least in our eyes — certified earwax whisperer.
Vaughan's latest video features a patient named Paul, who says he's had wax blockage in his ears for approximately "forever." Lo and behold, Dr. Vaughan finds Paul's right ear canal totally blocked off by a clump of brownish-black wax.
But instead of scraping the wax out, Dr. Vaughan uses a technique called irrigation, in which a small machine pumps a stream of water into the ear canal. After a while, the pressurized water dislodges the wax, and Dr. Vaughan simply lifts it away. It's a clean, simple, and satisfying removal.
