Hi-Tech Ear Cleaners

Coden's Ear Scope Windows is Like Mimikaki for the Modern Age

— April 29, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Ear Scope Windows by Coden is like a hi-tech version of the traditional mimikaki bamboo ear pick that's used for ear cleaning purposes.

Digital ear cleaners have been around for a while and they've become quite comfortable, safe and much more long-lasting than the average cotton swab. However, what gives the Ear Scope Window a leg up on the competition is that it has a handy camera that can be connected to any Windows PC and if you're not bothered by the idea, you can check out what's going on inside your own ear canals.

Coden's ear cleaner is available through Japan Trend Shop for about $28 and it could prove to be useful for getting rid of an ear ache, or at the very least, sating some curiosity.
