The Ear Wiz ear wax remover features a safety stop and spring-flex loop tip to guard against eardrum contact and injury to the canal walls, thereby becoming safer for a non-medical person to remove earwax. This handy tool makes it easy to follow the directions on many hearing protection products that tell you to "clean ears and remove excess wax before inserting ear plugs." Recommended for all who use ear plugs, ear molds or in-ear devices. Ear Wiz can help prevent wax blockages that can occur from repeatedly pushing the wax deeper into the canal. Never use Q-Tips. Use EarWiz instead.
