Those of us who suffer from wax buildup in the ear know that when things get bad, it’s all you can think about. It’s one of the toughest itches to scratch, whether you’re using your bare finger (gross) or a cotton swab (possibly harmful, as most ENT specialists can tell you).

The problem is that you can’t see what you’re doing, and the structure of the ear canal increases the possibility that you’ll do more harm than good. Now, technology has finally caught up to the problem with the Smart Visual Ear Cleaner.

What you’ve got here is an ear wax removal tool that incorporates a tiny HD camera that can help you target the wax or other debris you need to remove. When you use it, you get real-time 1080p footage of what’s going on inside your ear canal, fed into a Yidou Visual app that you can get through the App Store or Google Play.

Attached to that camera is a silicone spoon that can gently scoop out wax without scratching the sensitive areas inside your ear. With an IP7 waterproof rating, both the spoon and the camera can stand up to heavy use, and the kit comes with five replacement spoons that are easy to clean with an alcohol rub.

One discreet-looking case carries it all. And the unit’s 350 mAh battery can provide up to 1.5 hours of nonstop use. It’s an effective way to save yourself some irritation without making the problem worse.

Right now, you can get the Smart Visual Ear Cleaner for $34.99. That’s $5 off the MSRP.
