I bought a camera that looks inside my ears

[MamMomMommyMa]

I believe the white is scarring from recurring infections as a child

Other ear

Oooh which one did you buy? Will you post a link. Great image, are you disappointed about there being no wax?

WHERE CAN I BUY IT?!

What's the white stuff?

I want this.

Holey shit!

That's the one I bought but it was a while ago and I didn't pay that much for it. Devastated there is never any wax in my ears. I tried it on my husband and he has a lump of wax I'm dying to get but he won't let me

@waltzingparrot scarring from ear infections as a child

I have a bit of a head cold and my ears hurt when they pop so I brought out the camera for a look

Oh wow! I have found my people! I never have wax but my son has loads. He won't let me touch so I fish it out when he is sleeping

@Ohdoleavemealone
Thanks for that - there's an image I can't get out of my head now.

I don't even know if I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Did you have grommets?
Apparently I have scars like that (haven't seen them myself but Drs have described them to me) and I was told they were from the grommets I had for glue ear as a child.

I really like that! Might treat myself for Christmas 🎄

What is the best way to remove earwax safely?
I feel I have bunged up ears but seemingly not much earwax so I’d like to get one of these.

@DougRossIsTheBoss I did have grommets but my husband also had them and doesn't have the white scarring.

@Flutter12 I bought it thinking I had loads of wax and I didn't!

@MamMomMommyMa

Oh really! I’m definitely going to have to get one now!

Are you sure that you have not been fobbed off with a cheap stethoscope where the diaphragm end has been cut off?
