As someone with waxy ears, an ear pick with a wifi camera built in. Would get blockages, cotton buds just pushed it back, olive oil or peroxide would get air locked. The webcam ear pick was super cheap and makes it easy to scoop out any lumps of wax.

Got any recommendations? My ears have been pissing me off lately cause they're constantly feeling blocked. Not just for the ear pick but anything in general to help with to much wax in the ear.

When searching for a pick, there were many with Micro USB ports, but only a few with USB-C so chose based on that. In the app, you choose what ear your working on, but found my brain needed the opposite view.

After initially pulling out chunks of wax, sometimes I feel blocked but can see it's my ear canal being irritated, and with it clear, can use olive oil drops or moisturiser on a cotton tip to treat the sore areas.
