VITCOCO Ear Wax Removal Kit Ear Camera 1296P High-Definition Earwax Cleaner Portable USB Charging Visible 6 LED Otoscope for iPhone, Ipad, Android

I was having a lot of trouble with wax in one ear: loss of nearly all hearing, tinnitus, clicking and popping. No response to wax softening drops. Bought this, scooped a ton of wax out of the ear and put more drops in. Back for second helps an hour later. Bingo! Hearing restored.I am a retired doctor so looking in ears is not a new thing but I do feel it is quite intuitive to use so anyone could get to grips with it. I imagined the little blue spoon was my finger and I was scooping the wax out of a big ear. Worked for me.

I'm very impressed with the quality and ease of use. You need to download a corresponding app to use this kit, but it's all pretty straightforward. Within 10 minutes of opening the pack and reading the instructions, I was treated to a very magnified view of inside my ear. The tool to scrape up any residue is very soft to the touch and doesn't hurt at all. It also doesn't get hot while in the ear. Of course, you still have to be careful, so I wouldn't advise going beyond what is easily visible and comfortable. It's easy to rinse off and keep clean before the next use. I've used this twice so far, and it's highly functional. Also seems to be fairly durable and well made. Should you want to keep footage of your ear-cleaning exploits, the app also allows you to record the session. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Insightful. Cheap, does the job though. It’s like watching through the keyhole…. Remember thst with Lloyd grossman?…. Well it’s certainly, who has wax like this?…..It’s early! I’m trying ok 😂

The media could not be loaded. I’m obsessed with this ! It makes cleaning my ears so much easier took awhile to get used to it as in how far down I can go you just need a steady hand and tight things slowly this was the second or third time I’ve used this now hence why very little buildup in the ears but would highly recommend the one thing I would also mention though is because there is a light on the end of it it does sometimes get a little bit hot

I was able to figure this out from a Go Pro experience. I switched off the phone data and connected to the device's “network”. It took a lot of faffing but I got there in the end :)It magnifies inside of your ear so you get to see far enough inside. It also gets warm after being on for a while.One thing to note is that the magnification makes everything look huge until it comes out…and is tiny :D

Very poor quality, and video for product is incorrect. Received this morning. Silicone cover came torn. It is incredibly thin and fragile. The ear wax remover tool CANNOT be removed as stated in the video. I needed this just to examine the ear, so wanted to be able to remove the tool.

I wouldn’t say I have ear issues, but like everyone, we like to keep our ears clean and excess debris-free, allowing the ear to self-clean as long as there isn’t an impacted obstruction. Now I’m aware no one should EVER insert anything foreign objects into the ears except medically trained professionals with masses of experience performing the treatment safely. Still, for decades myself included, I have done this anyways from Q-tips, spiral ear cleaners, water syringes (which gave me a nasty infection), as well as metal ear picks that can push the build-up further inside. So my reason for purchasing was to minimise the risks I already take, not eradicate them, as that’s impossible for the average person not medically trained. To minimise the risk is to view what you are doing in regards to depth and avoid the delicate ear drum that can be perforated easily. I’ve experienced this, which isn’t pleasant in the slightest.For this listing, the current reviews were slightly concerning as most reported failure within one single use to six weeks either with light failure battery no longer charging or complete inability to connect to the product app, but as this particular listing had around 1,000 more reviews and #1 Best Seller, 59% five stars, alongside 21% four stars and 20% three or below) I took the risk as Amazon are usually good at refunding. I’m always cautious of Amazon reviews, in particular. I scrutinise if they’re, in fact, genuine, as many aren’t without a hidden agenda. But rest assured, mine will be brutally honest if required and will happily expose the flaws where I will comment on the three aspects, Pro, Med and Con. I also looked at the app “EndoscopeTool”, and the reviews aren’t too favourable either, although there was a recent update a month before my purchase. Hoping they rectified these issues that others claimed to have had with connection across all platforms.Now with my use.I used an ear wax softener as I usually would for a few days before any cleaning.Pro:____* The camera is precise. I don’t find it difficult to view the canal or have distorted images or lag, even with the attached accessories. Though highly recommend viewing via an iPad/tablet for easier viewing than a small mobile device. Viewing is going to be subjective as ear canal sizes differ. I’d say mine aren’t large or narrow. If they are, lift the ear upwards, which helps.* Multiuser, the app can be installed on separate devices, allowing others to use (of course sanitise in between users)* It seems a lot of others have had issues with the tips breaking. Of course, this is a massive risk as they could easily fall deep into the canal with no safe user way to remove it. Thankfully through my usage, this hasn’t occurred yet. If this is the case, I shall update at the end of my full review under “Updates.”* Once the attachments are pushed upwards and twisted into place, they don’t move. During my use, they haven’t become detached and seem secure.Med:____* There is no storage pouch for the device when not in use. Of course, I knew at the time of order that the accessories arrived in a small tube together. Still, the device and attachments could potentially be separated and misplaced. I’ve placed mine in a resealable food bag to keep when not in use. For the price, you’d expect some storage.* The material used is plastic throughout the entire product. I do feel to improve. It would’ve been an excellent addition to have a silicone strip to improve grip. Holding plastic can naturally become oily from the fingers.* It can be challenging to navigate initially, but you soon get the hang of it. It took me a good while to twist sideways, forwards and backwards to get the correct position and learn the camera's orientation.* Because the camera's zoom is high, any debris on the camera can look larger than it is. After scraping and the device is out of the ear, the debris is hardly noticeable to the human eye. Also, because of the magnification, the eardrum is closer and not getting as close without being too close to remove wax effectively slightly more forwards.* The set includes x2 of each shape. In all honesty, there’s very little difference except the mushroom. The product description shows the difference. But in person, they genuinely look and feel the same.Con:____* Let’s get the most significant concern out of the way first. I don’t understand why there is a need to connect to the app's designated network instead of the user's own Wi-Fi direct connection. That is undoubtedly a breach of privacy to the user. When I thought of Wi-Fi, I thought of my Wi-Fi. Just make sure you disconnect before you intend to connect with banking and other sensitive information.* The unit gets relatively warm, respectfully, as the ears are sensitive, including heat. With extended use, It can become uncomfortable and feels more on the hotter side to use for more than 5 minutes per ear. I do need to stop and allow it to cool before continuing. It takes at least two minutes to cool off, but as soon as you start again, the temperature increases quicker. So for me, it’s not an instant 5 minutes.*Some of the attachments aren’t entirely smooth on the edges, and at times I found continuous movement in a particular area causes irritation and redness. Funny enough, the required Wi-Fi connection required is “Softish”. So that seems fitting.* The battery isn’t fantastic after a full charge of around 30 minutes; after just 9 minutes of total use, the battery is already down to the lowest bar. I honestly don’t know how some are getting an hour. Suspicious. Unless they are constantly recharging it, then continue. I find it unlikely on a single charge that this would be possible. And not “use time long”, as the description states. I find I have to charge fully to continue on the other ear or risk empty whilst, which defeats the purpose of being able to view. The device does flash when the battery is low, so at least it does warn you.Overall____Would I pay upwards of £40 for this? No, and thankfully I didn't, as it was on sale at £24.99 at the time of this review. Sure, the camera is clear in video quality, and the light is bright. But the battery longevity after full charge is terrible, and the accessory tips aren't smooth and easily irritate due to the sharp edges and the general quality. I may have been another unfortunate customer that unfortunately got the attachments in a poor finish as others seem to have not have had issues or reviewed the product quickly after arrival. I have chosen not to add images/videos as other reviews have, and I wouldn't be able to show anything else worthy of adding. Hopefully, you have found this review helpful if this is/isn’t for you.__________Update: 30/8/22Two attachments have had silicon wear after only a few weekly uses and, most likely, with another few, will ultimately see the base of a waste bin.
