A person could get obsessed with this thing
And that's what happened with my niece, who spied this unopened on my bathroom counter and pounced on it. She had been bothered by excessive wax in her ears and has been inspecting her ears nonstop since she commandeered it (washing the removable tips between uses, obviously).<br /><br />She really did need help getting the wax out of her ears, apparently, as the camera revealed a veritable wall of wax blocking both of her eardrums, which would have taken her a lot longer to figure out without this handy thing.<br /><br />In addition to the ear pick itself, the device comes with a small vial of reusable plastic tips and six long metal sticks with various scooped, spoonlike tips and even one that looks like a tiny whisk. These are also for cleaning your ears but they don’t attach to the device.<br /><br />The ear pick came with a partial charge, so it was operable right out of the box. First you download the free app as instructed in the manual, then press the button to power on the ear camera. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, go to wi-fi settings, and look for the network titled “Aisee” (this might be different for you; refer to your instruction manual for the name to look for).<br /><br />I don’t really understand the technology behind it, but I guess the device is its own little hot spot? I say that because you connect your phone to it as if it were a wi-fi connection, and then you have direct access to the camera inside. The image is reasonably clear and there’s a very bright light at the tip to illuminate where you’re going inside your ear. You can dig around in your ear without any help, because you can see what you’re doing right from your phone.<br /><br />My niece quickly determined that her ears needed professional care and went to the doctor to get them flushed out. Her doctor did not recommend she continue using this device due to its potential to scratch the ear canal or puncture the eardrum. However, it did prove extremely useful in revealing what was really going on with my niece's ears, and it seems safe enough to use if you’re careful not to explore too deep into your ear canal. But do be aware that this device could either save you a trip to the doctor or, if used incorrectly, cause you one.<br /><br />All in all, I recommend this highly with a caveat to take proper care when using.
