Ear Cleaning With A Zing

We have professional ear cleaners here in India, who can be found on the streets, ready to clean out the earwax for a petty fee. Amazing as it sounds, the uppercrust doesn’t indulge in the practice, they still prefer the trust old ear bud! And this brings me to the Easy Buds; a redesign of the old with added features like adjustable buds and contour fitting! The bud consists of three major parts flexible rubber cover, adjustable stainless steel sheet and detachable synthetic rubber buds. Apparently this design is more comfortable to use and is more effective in collecting the wax.

I know it’s a messy business but one that needs to be done on a regular basis. So tell me which one would you pick: the professional guy or this new design?
