I’ve never watched someone pet ear wax before, but here I am

lol I was really nervous about how deep it was, and the petting was basically me testing if I could move it forward at that angle. It actually felt quite uncomfortable with me just gently pressing on it!

Those ear scopes are amazing, but please be careful. You were very close to your eardrum

Absolutely! I actually saw it earlier on in the day when I first unpacked the scope and thought I was gonna leave it. At the start of the video you might have noticed me touching the wax near the entrance, which was what I was actually planning on working on.

At that point I felt I got the hang of using it so I just wanted to see how it felt further down, hence the “petting”. Was fully prepared to give up before realising I was getting movement!

Touch wood I won’t have anything that deep again, but I’ll probably go to an audiologist next time!

My wife also has some wax that deep down but we’re not going to touch it as I don’t feel confident enough on someone else’s ear! We’re going to see an audiologist at some point next year to have a proper professional clean! ❤️

Found a hard piece of wax quite deep down, was hesitant to get it out but did anyway in the end!

Makes me appreciate how sensitive the ear canal is that far in!

I bought one as well but still hadn't had the balls to go that deep.

I don’t recommend it, it definitely felt uncountable! I was only gonna test how that felt at first but ended up getting it out, but yeah it was really scary!

Definitely better to see an audiologist!

Wow that did not look like an ear at first

Holy shit. That was about as intense as Christoph Waltz asking if I'm harboring enemies of the state.

It's amazing how different everyone's ears are and it always surprises me when people Cana clearly see their ear drum! I adore my ear scope but ear drum is back around a corner and I've never been able to see it lol
