# Powered Ear Canal Cleaners The Conceptual 'Clean' Ear Cleaner Gently Clears Ear Canals By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-05-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ear-cleaner References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2020/05/20/this-electric-q-tip-gently-cleans-the-wax-from-inside-your-ear/) Many consumers will use cotton swabs to remove ear wax which can sometimes cause it to be further pushed into the ear, so the conceptual 'Clean' ear cleaner has been created as a healthier alternative. Designed by Nate Shirley, the device works with a powered design to rotate the cleaning head and gently coax ear wax out instead of pushing it deeper by accident. The [soft, silicone design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-dream) is malleable and nontoxic to ensure it's suitable as part of a person's regular grooming routines. The conceptual 'Clean' ear cleaner is also focused on an eco-friendly design that eliminates the need for [single-use products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oclean-1). The durable design of the handheld appliance will allow it to be easily sanitized between uses without degrading. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ear Canal Cleaning Devices:** The rise of non-invasive and eco-friendly ear cleaning devices disrupts the traditional cotton swab method and creates opportunities for health and wellness companies. - **Powered Grooming Products:** The growth of powered grooming products has the potential to reshape the personal care industry, creating an opportunity for companies to create innovative and eco-friendly grooming tools. - **Non-invasive Health Technology:** The trend of non-invasive health technology is creating opportunities for companies producing consumer-friendly designs and solutions that can improve consumers' everyday health routine. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Health and Wellness:** Health and wellness companies can create innovative ear cleaning devices, promoting eco-friendliness and non-invasiveness as part of a consumer's everyday health routine. - **Personal Care:** Opportunities exist for companies to reshape the personal care industry by creating powered grooming devices that are eco-friendly, sanitizable and adaptable to consumers' needs. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can enter the personal care market through creating non-invasive health technology products, such as powered ear cleaners, as consumers continue to move towards more high-tech and eco-conscious solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Professional Ear Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wush-pro-ear-cleaner.md) - [Crowdfunded Ear Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morfone.md) - [Ergonomic Hearing Aid Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claro-hearing-aid.md) - [Reusable Wet Wipe Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-tissue-cleaner.md) - [Dehumidifing Ear Care Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dearbuds.md) - [Self-Cleaning Headphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiotechnica-athtwx9.md) - [Sculptural Artful Ultrasonic Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrasonic.md) - [Non-Invasive Ear Treatment Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earflo.md) - [Earring Earbud Concept Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-yunxib.md)
