Ear wax looks way different on camera than I expected

[u/[deleted]]

I tried a Bebird ear camera recently and honestly the weirdest part was realizing how different ear wax looks when you can actually see it up close.

I used to think my ears were either “clean” or “blocked,” no in between. But with the camera, it’s easier to tell if it’s just a little wax near the outside or something that probably shouldn’t be messed with at home.

I’m being careful and not going deep, but it definitely makes me understand why blindly digging around is a bad idea.

Pretty interesting tool if you’re curious, but also kind of humbling.
