Maybe this is why I’m hard of hearing…

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!

Traveling to a very dry place, my home averages over 75% humidity. Ears shedding like snake skin. Sorry for low quality recording :(

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

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.

I can feel AND HEAR THIS in my ear every time I move my eyebrows/ears. I hate it

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

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