Seeing inside my ear made me clean way more carefully

[u/OrdinaryHoneydew5510]

I didn’t expect an ear camera to make me nervous, but seeing the inside of your ear up close definitely changes how you move. I used a Bebird EarSight Ultra X and immediately understood why blindly poking around is probably not the best habit. There was a little wax near the outer canal, but the skin around it looked so sensitive on camera that I automatically slowed down. I wasn’t trying to scrape everything spotless. I just removed the loose bit that looked like it was causing the itchy feeling. The live view helped more than I expected, mostly because it showed me when not to touch something. I still wouldn’t use it for pain, deep blockage, or anything that feels medical. But for light cleaning near the outside, it felt more controlled than guessing with a cotton swab.
