Hmmm, get a few cases of these, give 'em an audiophile name, write up a bullet-proof disclaimer and you're in business...Boy, does this thing look dangerous for the ear! I'd want a Swedish Nurse to come with it...
25 bucks if you dare, link below.

DIY ear cleaning tool
AKA "Shower Power"I am not recommending it, just pointing out that there is a DIY ear cleaning community out there!
About two years ago I had used a qtip and pushed wax up against my ear drum....rather than taking it out. At the walk in clinic, the doctor took a device looking pretty much like that, pulled in some very warm water and slowly squirted it into my ear. The resulting pressure of the water is related to how hard you press down on the plunger. They had a bowl to catch the water as it came out. After a few squirts, my hearing was superb again. And it was pretty gross to see all the little wax floaties in the water. It's very easy to use, doesn't squirt hard and works great. Highly recommended.
. . .for a laugh that is. Their HQ in Seattle used to be a requisite stop of mine when organizaing a party of any kind. They had acres of drawers containing all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff that was never in the catalog or on the web site.
Love 'em. Set of three is $5.95...

I was told by a dental tech that there's a much better method now a day's that does not use high pressure. I don't think it's a good idea to do DIY ear cleaning, anyway. You can damage the eardrum and/or push nasties into the inner ear (infection city) :-0
Yup, there is a ear drops cleaning system that's sold over the counter that is allegedly a safe alternative to a visit to the ear doc.Sticking Q-tips in your ear canal often just impacts the wax build-up and creates further problems.
"Let me help..."
... not me but a real doctor.
"Are you a doctor?"
"If you mean by doctor someone who studies for 10 years and has a deep desire to help humanity thwn no I am not a doctor but if you mean someone who says they are a doctor so women will take their clothes of then yes I am a doctor."

A doctor once advised me to never put anything in my ear that was smaller than my elbow.
He was a sadist. Putting your elbow actually in your ear hurts, and putting anything larger than your elbow in your ear hurts more.
... I doubt you could get it anywhere near your ear....
ANything bigger.... errr probably wouldn't fit IN your ear anyway!
Its easier to get your foot in your mouth. And I should know!
Even if I detached it, my elbow is still bigger than my earhole.
The point (HAHAHA!!) the doc was making was that you should NEVER stick anything in your ear.
a sharpe metal object, and then what the first thing they do when you visit the dentist. Pokes your teeth with a sharpe metal poker.
