Ear wax is one of those yucky substances that actually does good things for our body. Cleaning our ears or removing our wax often means a cotton swab in your ear canal.
The Smart Swab is a flexible rubber device that says it can remove ear wax, without going too far in your ear.
Dr. Thomas, an ENT specialist at Trinity Health isn't sure that's a good thing.
"I felt like by making sure it won't go too far down in the ear canal, it probably wouldn't work because of how short it was. I think the length is a good safety feature, but it probably keeps it from being effective," Dr. Thomas said.
