CRAZY.

A 27-year-old man from New Zealand came to Hai Ly ENT Clinic because he had been experiencing hearing loss for about five years.

He told me that one of his ears had previously undergone surgery because of mastoiditis.

However, when I examined him, I found that **both ear canals were completely blocked**.

One ear was filled with dark earwax, while the other contained a white foreign object that was difficult to identify at first.

I explained that both the earwax and the foreign material needed to be removed. There was a good chance that these blockages were the main reason for his hearing loss.

After some careful work, I was able to remove the contents from both ears. It turned out that there was not only earwax, but also **two silicone earplugs — one in each ear.**

The result was quite remarkable: **his hearing improved significantly after the ears were cleared.**

But surprisingly, the happiest person was actually his girlfriend!

She told me, “I kept talking to him and he just couldn't understand what I was saying. I thought he was going deaf! But now everything is completely different.”

One strange thing was that even he had no idea **when or why he had put those earplugs in his ears — or how they had ended up staying there for almost five years!**

I was also curious and asked him, “Why did you leave your ears like this for so long before getting them checked?”

He explained that back home, getting an appointment with an ENT specialist could take a long time and the cost could also be quite high. During his trip to Vietnam, he heard about Hai Ly ENT Clinic and decided to come in for an examination.

I told them that living with reduced hearing for five years was far too long. Whenever you notice a persistent change in your hearing, **you should have your ears examined as soon as possible.**

They were both delighted that he could hear clearly again.

And his girlfriend's final comment?

**“Oh my God… that's crazy!”** 😄

When Earwax Is Not Just Earwax

A 17-year-old patient came to Hai Ly ENT Clinic asking to have his ears cleaned because he believed he had excessive earwax.

I explained to him that since he was experiencing tinnitus, it would be better to have his ears properly examined first. However, he insisted that he only wanted the earwax removed. Of course, I respected his decision.

But when I examined and cleaned his ear under the endoscope, it became clear that what we were seeing was **not simply earwax. There was pus, along with signs of a fungal ear infection.**

In reality, I see quite a few patients like this. For various reasons, some patients do not want to pay for a medical consultation and prefer to have only their earwax removed.

But this is essentially **treating the symptom while leaving the underlying problem untreated.**

I explained to him that his ear problem was not simply earwax and that he might have a fungal infection. I cleaned the ear thoroughly today, but without proper treatment, the infection could return within about a week.

I told him that he did not have to come back to my clinic if he did not want to. He could go to a hospital or see another doctor. But he should have the condition properly examined and treated rather than simply having the earwax removed.

I had done my part by explaining the situation and giving him the appropriate advice. The decision was ultimately his.

But as a doctor, I still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy about the situation. **Here was a condition that could potentially have been treated properly, yet the patient chose not to have it treated.**

Sometimes, the hardest part of being a doctor is not knowing how to treat a condition. It is seeing a condition that can be treated, but not being able to convince the patient to receive the treatment they need.

Saving a Trip to Sapa

Sapa is one of Vietnam’s most famous tourist destinations. Visitors from Vietnam and around the world come here to enjoy a holiday, explore the beautiful terraced rice fields, or simply admire the breathtaking views from Fansipan, the highest peak in Indochina.

Caprice was planning to travel to Sapa tonight, too. However, she started experiencing ear pain and decided to visit Hai Ly ENT Clinic for an examination and treatment because she was worried that it might affect her trip.

She told me, “One of my ears is painful, while the other feels blocked. I even went to a spa to have it checked, but it didn’t get any better.”

During the endoscopic examination, I found that one ear was blocked by earwax, while the other had an ear infection with pus.

I explained the condition and treatment plan to her, and reassured her that she could still enjoy her trip to Sapa tonight.

After cleaning her ears and removing the earwax, she smiled and said:

“I can hear much better now. Thank you, doctor, for saving my trip!”

That was certainly one of the nicest things I could hear today.

Itchy Ears and the Habit of Cleaning Them with Cotton Swabs

Many people have a habit of cleaning their ears with cotton swabs. For some, it even becomes strangely satisfying—scratching an itchy ear can feel good, almost like scratching an itch on the skin.

The problem is that it often becomes a vicious cycle: the ear feels itchy, so you clean it; the more you clean it, the itchier it becomes.

In many cases, people clean their ears not because they have too much earwax, but simply because it has become a habit. Some even find it difficult to stop.

Unfortunately, this habit can do more harm than good.

1. Ear injury

Cleaning the ear with cotton swabs or other objects can injure the ear canal or even perforate the eardrum.

Some people use cotton swabs with hard tips, while others use metal ear picks or other objects that increase the risk of injury. Even a sudden bump from someone walking past or an unexpected movement can push the swab deeper into the ear and cause serious damage.

2. Ear infections

Using cotton swabs may also increase the risk of bacterial or fungal ear infections, especially if the swabs are not clean.

In addition, repeated cleaning can remove the ear's natural protective layer, making the ear canal more vulnerable to infection.

There are other risks as well

Earwax is a normal and healthy part of the ear. If there is only a small amount, it usually does not need to be removed. The ear has its own natural self-cleaning mechanism that gradually moves earwax out of the ear canal.

Some people naturally produce more earwax than others. If earwax builds up frequently, it is safer to have it removed by an ENT specialist, rather than trying to do it yourself. For these individuals, having their ears professionally cleaned about every six months may be appropriate.

Take-home message

Avoid making ear cleaning with cotton swabs a habit.

If you find it difficult to stop, try to reduce the habit gradually.

And if you develop itchy ears, tinnitus, ear pain, or hearing problems, it is always better to see a doctor for an examination instead of trying to treat the problem yourself with cotton swabs.

A Simple Ear Cleaning That Would Have Taken Months

A young Vietnamese man living overseas visited Hai Ly ENT Clinic during his trip back to Vietnam. He came in because he wanted to have his ears cleaned.

He told me that he had already seen his family doctor in the country where he lives. After examining his ears, the doctor explained that the earwax was too hard to remove safely and referred him to an ENT specialist.

The problem was that the earliest available appointment with an ENT specialist was about five months away.

Since he was returning to Vietnam for a short visit, he contacted my clinic for help.

He happened to call during my lunch break, but he explained that his flight was scheduled for that afternoon and hoped I could see him before he left. So I came back to the clinic and asked him to come in.

About 30 minutes later, both ears had been cleaned safely and thoroughly.

He told me he was relieved because he would otherwise have had to wait several months and pay significantly more for the same procedure.

Vietnam has become an increasingly attractive destination for international patients. In addition to its beautiful scenery and rich culture, many visitors appreciate the country's accessible, high-quality, and affordable medical services.

As an ENT doctor, my goal is simple: to provide the best care I can for every patient, whether they are from Vietnam or from abroad.

I also hope that Vietnam will continue to grow as a trusted destination for medical tourism, offering both excellent healthcare and warm hospitality to visitors from around the world.

Mastoiditis: Looking Beyond What Seems Obvious

A 68-year-old woman came to my clinic because she had noticed some discharge from her ear after going swimming. She thought that water had simply become trapped in her ear and asked me to take a look.

During the endoscopic examination, I found pus in the ear canal and a perforated eardrum. These findings suggested middle ear infection (otitis media), so I recommended an X-ray of the mastoid bone for further evaluation.

The X-ray showed that the infection had also spread to the mastoid bone, a condition known as mastoiditis. In clinical practice, this is commonly diagnosed as otitis media with mastoiditis.

This was the first time she had experienced anything like this, so naturally she was quite shocked. She had previously worked as a government inspector and was someone who paid close attention to details. She had also recently heard media reports about unethical medical practices at a clinic elsewhere in Vietnam, which made her even more cautious and anxious about the diagnosis.

She asked many questions and wanted to make sure she fully understood her condition. I showed her the endoscopic images, explained the findings in detail, discussed the treatment plan, and gave her advice on how to reduce the risk of recurrence. I also recommended regular follow-up examinations.

As medical students, we are taught that health is not merely the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. In everyday practice, however, busy clinics and heavy workloads can sometimes lead doctors to focus mainly on diagnosing and treating the disease itself, while unintentionally overlooking the patient's emotional concerns.

Taking the time to explain the diagnosis, answer questions, and reassure patients is an important part of medical care. It not only helps patients follow their treatment correctly but also builds trust—especially in today's world, where medical information on the internet can be overwhelming and sometimes misleading.

When patients understand their condition and feel confident in their treatment, they are more likely to recover successfully.

Don't Assume Earwax Is the Only Cause of Tinnitus

A patient from the Philippines visited Hai Ly ENT Clinic today because of tinnitus. She believed that earwax was the only cause of her symptoms and simply wanted the earwax removed.

As part of my usual approach, I first explained that tinnitus can have many different causes. I recommended a proper examination so that the underlying cause could be identified and treated appropriately.

However, she preferred to have only the earwax removed, which was, of course, her choice.

When I examined her ear with the endoscope, the cause became immediately clear. In addition to the earwax, she had a fungal ear infection (otomycosis).

I explained the findings and advised her to have a full consultation and treatment. I also told her that without treatment, the fungal infection could return within just 4–5 days, even if the ear was cleaned.

She thanked me for the explanation but decided to wait until she returned to her home country for treatment.

Fortunately, otomycosis is usually not difficult to treat, and the medication is generally inexpensive. The most important factors are following the doctor's instructions carefully and completing the treatment as prescribed.

Unfortunately, some patients stop treatment too early, do not follow the instructions, or simply become too busy. As a result, the fungal infection often comes back.

Every Patient Deserves Understanding and Reassurance

Some people are naturally more cautious than others. To be honest, I think I am one of them too.

Today, I treated two patients from Israel. Like many international travelers, they were understandably careful about receiving medical treatment in a foreign country, especially when medication or a medical procedure was involved.

Before starting the treatment, I took the time to explain the diagnosis, the procedure, my experience with similar cases, and what they could expect during the treatment. I even demonstrated the procedure so they would feel more comfortable and confident.

By the end of the visit, they left the clinic with smiles on their faces. They were so pleased with the experience that they even asked to take a photo with me before leaving.

Many people are surprised to learn that medical care in Vietnam is of a very high standard. Vietnamese doctors are well trained, medical services are affordable, and patients can usually receive treatment much more quickly than in many developed countries.

For example, if someone develops an acute ear, nose, or throat problem in Vietnam, they can often be seen by a specialist on the same day. In many other countries, waiting for a non-emergency appointment may take weeks or even months.

Another difference is endoscopic examination. In Vietnam, nasal and throat endoscopy is a routine part of an ENT consultation. Many of my international patients tell me that it is the first time they have ever seen the inside of their own ears, nose, or throat on a monitor.

As doctors, we also need to understand our patients' concerns. Being patient, listening carefully, and earning their trust are just as important as making the correct diagnosis.

Every patient's smile is the greatest reward for a doctor.

A Korean patient visited my clinic today with a fish bone stuck in the throat.

Many Vietnamese people tend to keep working or try home remedies first, such as swallowing rice or vegetables in the hope of pushing the bone down into the stomach. Because of this, they often seek medical care quite late.

This patient, however, contacted me immediately after the fish bone became stuck while eating. She arrived at the clinic within about an hour. I think this was a very sensible approach, especially when traveling in a foreign country.

During the examination, I found a fairly large fish bone embedded in the base of the tongue. The patient cooperated very well throughout the procedure, which allowed the fish bone to be removed quickly and smoothly.

Freshwater fish are very popular in Vietnam because they are nutritious. However, they generally contain more bones than saltwater fish.

When eating fish, avoid laughing or talking while chewing, and make sure the bones have been removed carefully before swallowing.
