As someone with waxy ears, an ear pick with a wifi camera built in. Would get blockages, cotton buds just pushed it back, olive oil or peroxide would get air locked. The webcam ear pick was super cheap and makes it easy to scoop out any lumps of wax.
- Got any recommendations? My ears have been pissing me off lately cause they're constantly feeling blocked. Not just for the ear pick but anything in general to help with to much wax in the ear.
  
  Not medical advice, but when I can tell it's getting full in there, I pour 50% diluted hydrogen peroxide (just use the cap of the bottle) in my ear, let it bubble away for 5 minutes or so, then use a bulb syringe thing with warm water to flush it out til it's clean. Be careful with pressure and temperature of the water, but it works great.
  
  This is what I do. I got a flushing ear thing specifically with the nozzle for ears on Amazon for like 10 bucks and it's a game changer. I gotta do it yearly.
  
  When searching for a pick, there were many with Micro USB ports, but only a few with USB-C so chose based on that. In the app, you choose what ear your working on, but found my brain needed the opposite view.
  After initially pulling out chunks of wax, sometimes I feel blocked but can see it's my ear canal being irritated, and with it clear, can use olive oil drops or moisturiser on a cotton tip to treat the sore areas.
  
  I use a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar. I drip about ten drops in one ear, let it sit there while I read a book on my side. Then I catch it all with a Kleenex tissue as I rotate my head.
  This works great on ear infections too.
- I wonder how many people have used one of these to look down their peehole.
  
  That doesn't sound like it would be any fun.
- Also you can make your own niche YouTube channel and make a living out of it lololol
- I bought one of these recently and somewhere between the device and the crappy app it just won't connect all the way. Is there one made by a company that isnt just six random letters?
  
  I have one from Spade that I bought a while ago that I love.
