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.
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.)

The correct technique is to orients the camera to the up position before putting it in your ear, so that when you wiggle the tip up, it actually move up on your screen. Then, you don't try to look at the camera while moving the pick at the same time. Pick at a spot like you're using a trip, then repeat the motion and glance at the camera. This will separate the eye hand coordination into two parts, making it more manageable for newbies. If at some point you pick gently at a part and it hurt then your probably went to deep and need to check the camera again.
For the record, not everyone's ear wax is the same. Some are dry, and don't are wet. These works great on the dry ones before you push it further into your ear canal.

What if we have the wet oily ear wax?
I don't use q-tips to clean my ears. If I get ear wax, Wash my hands and outside of bulb, and use hydrogen peroxide and distilled water with bulb. Then rinse with straight distilled water. Then, again, wash my hands and use finger tips to fluff an narrow the ends of a q-tip. Put q-tip in my ear, not to clean, but to absorb most of any residing water, so my inside ear canals are able to dry quickly over the following hour. Do not push q-tip to end or dig. Put in like tampon and passively absorb up water.
No need to hard corely target to get ears 100% clean. That leads to damage and abrasion. At worst, hours after cleaning/drying, a little ear wax 'water' residue will collect an migrate out of the bottom of canal out to bottom to outer ear towards earlobe direction. I watch for this hours later and follow up by washing hands, taking piece of paper towel, get wet with hydrogen peroxide and wipe through the folds outside ear canal to clean it off. I mean, if there's enough for concern, you can just follow up with another low impact cleaning a few days later.
Notice how I, not only wash my hands often, but at specific points in the procedure.
I'm not a doctor, though I'm confident my common sense, and logistic sense levels are high.
I have minor ear Psoriasis.

Thanks OP!
be sure to sanitize it.
Wireless version was $26.38 ish then the 50% off dropped it to $13.19.
I generally add deals even if I miss them to my cart and save for later and then scroll thru my saved for later to see if it hits again. That's how I caught it last night.
The scooper attachments aren't that great as they're all way too far away from the camera itself. They should be allowed to be attached much closer to the camera lens.
But that aside... the app works just fine in android 11 s21. Image quality is better than expected, and my ears cleaner than expected. no brainer for 10 bucks
