Quote from cheapbluedevil View quoted comment :
Earwax is supposed to be in your ear. If you have too much, put a drop of mineral oil in there once a week. This will moisturize your ear, soften the wax, and allow it to come out naturally (like in the shower). Cotton swabs are excellent if you're looking to pack earwax tightly against your eardrum until you get a nasty infection. (Source: otolaryngologist.)

This camera is better than trying to do the same thing blind, but do you know what an eardrum looks like? 10/10 bet this sends people to the doc with unrepairable damage after they try to remove their own eardrums.

(As an unrelated aside, DEPSTECH makes great wireless flexible camera scopes. I've used one of their long flexible scopes for a ton of home projects unrelated to bodily orifices. The iPhone app isn't perfect and the batteries don't last long, but for the price they work great.)
Can you give me an example of the mineral oil to use? Feels like I have too much ear wax lately. Thanks

Just cleaned my ears with the bee bird scope and it worked great on my right ear but my left ear was really sensitive so I couldn't get the impacted wax. I would really caution people to not mess with their ears. Just go to a doctor. I was super careful but I feel like even I can mess up possibly.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I'm an ENT and bought something similar for the department to allow urgent care and family doctors to take a picture of ear exam and send to us.

Few points for those who are interested:
1. This is purely for diagnostic purposes. You can't clean through it nor do I recommend anyone cleaning his/her ears blind.
2. If you use the included tip, you won't damage the ear drum unless you have a congenitally malformed ear canal. The tip widens to prevent deep insertion.
3. To use it properly, you need to gently pull the ear back while inserting the tip.
4. This is particularly helpful if you have a child and believe a foreign body is in the ear.

Is it good to pour peroxide in the ear and let it sit a bit then use a qtip?

Next time the Dr says I'm due for a colonoscopy I can say "no thanks, gave myself one on the way over"
I have one in like 2 hours , do you think I should just cancel?

Got the wired one for $9.87, no tax.

This will work great for amateur dentistry, colonoscopy, rhinoplasty and all things that end in "y"
Probably good to go with the wired version if using it for colonoscopies. Don't want to lose it!

There's one review with pictures where it looked like the guy punctured his eardrum and damaged other areas. But in his review, he talks about how great it is. Not to assume this device caused it, but I probably would have it checked out if I saw what he did.

Do they make an instrument like this to aid in trimming nasal hairs? Trimmers always seem to miss one or two annoying hairs. Asking for a friend.

Seems like a good idea until you get a fungal infection from the moisture. Doesn't happen to everyone but seen it happen to someone. Then it's antifungal in the ear canal every day for 2 weeks.
How can that possibly happen.. you get your eardrums wet in the shower.. just dry them with a qtip after?

You've got to use the sticky end of the swab.

any advantage to get the wired vs the wireless? better latency or higher quality picture?

i'm using ios phone now, but could use the usb to a Chromebook.
Less likely that your neighbors can hack into the signal and watch you clean out your orifices.
