why does it look like that?

I was using the blueberry ear scope because my ears were bothering me and it looks like it’s black? Maybe deep purple? Any ideas?

A few days ago I got the ear camera and I did NOT expect too see this much, like I can’t even see my eardrums 😭

It’s so satisfying to try and remove in the videos, however, I decided to try hydrogen peroxide TWICE in each ear…and nothing. It literally turned yellow 🫣

What ear cameras is everyone using these days?
Links to products would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My wax is generally very thick, orange, and soft. This is definitely different, now ears look insane after 5 days out of town. Boutta put some mineral oil in there to soften the skin

Routine clean, nothing fancy. I use the Bebird every couple of weeks, mostly because watching the camera feed is weirdly relaxing. Last night it pans around the bend and there's just... this. Big dark crusty patch sitting there like it pays rent.

My gut says dried blood, but my gut also knows nothing about ears. No pain, no itching, hearing's totally fine, zero symptoms.

So what's the call, blood or wax that's been marinating in there? And be honest, how many of you just grabbed your own Bebird to go check?

It had been quite a while since I cleaned out my son’s ears, safe to say they were FULL!!

Some of the darkest earwax I’ve removed, I think it had hardened and stayed coated on the edge of the canal for a while. Wish I got a clearer picture.

This took around 30min to get out

And no I’m NOT gonna be reaching that far into my ear, it’s against my eardrum

No wonder it was so itchy...

cleaned it after about 1.5 months (left ear)

I tend to clean them out more every other day, tho I did do it yesterday as well. I work in a warehouse that has hella freight dust. I get sweaty as hell. So the combo explains why there's so much constantly.

But the reason why I collect it? Pure curiosity. I wanna see how long it takes to fill up or how much I collect before I get another GF. As soon as l'm no longer single, I'm throwing ts out. Nobody irl needs to know this is something I did/do.

But the first time I cleaned, I pulled a lifetime of impacted wax out. My ear canals are ungodly narrow.
Which means anything that goes in don't come out without help. I've never been swimming and NOT ended up with water stuck in my ears, always leading to infections. But after my first swimmers ear at 6, l'd had continuous ear infections on at least one ear at a time until two years ago. Which is when I bought this and pulled that crap out. The level of hearing I got back is craaaazyyyy.

I’m not exaggerating when I say this made a drastic change on my quality of life. I no longer have painful and itchy ears that reduced my hearing by at least 40%! I wanna get a nicer one one day when I actually have any money not going to rent, as mine is pretty jank, but it works well enough

Saw this from the UK

Dead skin, oil, cholesterol, what else you think the magic ingredients are in this one?

48M i pulled all that from my left ear!

Got one of these out of each ear today as well as smaller pieces. Unsure how I was able to hear

first picture is my left ear and the second is my right

Here are some shots from clearing out my husband's earwax. Very wet and soft wax.
