From a headphone buds to hearing aid filters – the bizarre things the Wax Whisperer has pulled out of ears
THE Wax Whisperer is known for his grim wax-busting videos – but his latest clip is full of all sorts of bizarre things.
Neel Raithatha, who runs a hearing clinic in Leicestershire, has pulled anything from a headphone buds to hearing aid.
In the clip he pulls a cotton bud from a man's ear – and he didn't even know it was there.
He told doctors Neel he had got a cotton bud stuck in his ear two years ago but he believed it had fallen out on its own.
But, after recently going swimming, the water that entered the man’s ear caused the cotton bud to swell and cause him pain.
Another man had 22 hearing aid wax filters, which kept falling off of the man’s hearing aids when he put them in.
A clump of them trapped in his ear canal, surrounded by wax and likely making it difficult to hear.
Neel is known for his stomach-churning procedures.
Earlier this year he filmed himself pulling mountains of dead skin from a patient's ear.
The woman had a condition called keratosis obturan, caused by an accumulation of large amounts of dead skin in the ear canal, which had caused a pimple to form in her ear canal.

In May he filmed the moment he removed a giant chunk of ear wax that left a woman "deaf" in one ear.
He said the clump of wax was so large the woman was no longer able to wear her hearing aid as it “caused it to whistle and squeal”.
Earlier this week he released a clip of him "popping" an infected pimple in a man's ear.
