I was turned down at my hearing test for wax.

I use a spray bottle similar to one my Dr. uses.
I also use ear wax softener.
I’m a lap swimmer which probably dries out the wax.

I’m looking for possible solutions vs going for a doctor’s appointment and while wary of shoving things in my ears, I’m wondering about: Ear Wax Ear Cleaner Wireless Bluetooth Ear Wax Removal Tool Camera Ear Cleaner Ear Wax Removal Tool With Camera LED Light Ear Cleaner With Camera And Light

For a long-term solution, I irrigate my ears with warm/hot water several times a week while taking a shower. I get a small cup full of water, pull it up with a rubber bulb syringe, then use that to irrigate an ear. Repeat a few times for each ear.

Yes, mine is by Anykit and I cast the image to my computer instead of a phone because it’s easier to view. I then use its spoon to scoop out wax.

The hardest part is that the picture is reversed so that when I move the spoon to the left the image moves to the right. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hi @Teewens. Terry, I use it usually once every couple of weeks, just to keep on top of my wax problem. I bought mine from Temu for £13, at the time Amazon wanted £28 for the exact same item.

I just ordered 1 on Ebay. I got the cheapest. I see one difference is pixel density. I don’t think that should make much difference. Are you doing this yourself or are you having someone else do the digging? Seems like it might be difficult to do oneself.

It’s actually quite easy to do yourself, except that the image is reversed as I mentioned previously. It takes some practice to get the scoop to move in the direction of the wax.

I do this (not often enough!) but NOT in the shower. I stand at the sink and lean over. I have more control and work at it as long as necessary. And can see in sink if I’m being productive.
If it’s been awhile, I squeeze in a few drops of alcohol/hydro-peroxide, let it sit, before irrigating with syringe.
