- Neel Raithatha is a UK audiologist who posts epic ear wax removal videos on his YouTube channel The Wax Whisperer.
- His latest video, published June 28, shows the removal of 22 ear wax filters from a single ear.
- The filters (also known as wax guards) are used to protect hearing aids from the damaging effects of ear wax, moisture, and other debris, according to the Audiology Clinic of Northern Alberta.
- Certain types of hearing aid speakers are more prone to ear wax clogs, according to the Mayo Clinic.
- This patient's wax filters kept falling into the ear canal, Raithatha wrote in the video's description.
- 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 ear wax.
- Watch the compelling 5-minute saga in its entirety below:
