Ear Mirror: Bear Witness to The Waxy, Hairy Horror

Sean Fallon — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:10:00 EST

To be honest, I wouldn't want an ear mirror for the same reason I wouldn't want an ass mirror—some territory on the body should remain unexplored.

The device works like a two headed dentist's mirror. Place one end over your ear and adjust the other mirror until you can see whether or not you need to bust out the Q-tips or the trimming scissors. It may also be helpful for those who are prone to ear infections. Anyway you cut it, it won't be pretty. [Home Trends via Book of Joe via DVICE]

The Ear Scope GXL is the Ultimate in Self Ear Cleaning

Jason Chen — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 19:15:18 EST

Taking both the Ear Wax Camera and the LED Ear Wax Cleaner to the next level, this Ear Scope GXL is the last word on cleaning your own ears. If you're not comfortable with (or don't have) someone else cleaning your ears for you, this Ear Scope lets you peep into your own LED-lit ear canal for easy scraping.

If the scope's somehow too uncomfortable to use, you can even attach the Ear Scope to an LCD TV so everybody can get in on the fun. Seriously, we need to know where to buy this and how much it costs. Screw everything else, this is what we want for Christmas this year.

Check out the TV version after the jump.

LED Lit Ear Wax Scooper: Dirty Ears Begone

Brian Lam — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 10:00:43 EST

My ears are waxy. The gooey kind. Is that too much information? Likely so. Regardless, I tell you because I need you help. This LED lit ear wax scooper was found in a random Korean grocery store, in between the air fresheners and the shower caps, by Andrew at DirtyNerdLuv. (Great name, btw. Nearly as good as BabyGotMac.)

Do you know where I can find one online?–Brian Lam

Elephant Cell Phone Strap For Waxy Ears

www.gizmodo.com — Sun, 24 Dec 2006 09:13:32 EST

Got an ear wax problem? Maybe you should do something about it. This little plastic elephant cell phone strap has a hook at the end of its trunk for picking at excess wax and scratching itches. It fits neatly on your finger so you can wave your crusty residue in your brother's face when he's sleeping.

Ear Wax Camera/Cleaner

Jason Chen — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 22:27:12 EDT

Though it's not really a common topic of dinner conversation in the States — "Who's been cleaning your ears at Yale, Son?" — the Japanese have a certain fondness for the act of ear cleaning. If Hello Kitty mimikakis (ear cleaners) aren't enough for your waxy canals, King's Idea's ear scopes may just be the ticket.

At one end of the device is a camera and a light, the other a viewer for you to peep your buildup. It's made of "anti-bacterial ABS resin, glass and stainless steel". If only this didn't cost $90.
