BEBIRD R1 Ear Wax Removal:Ear Cleaner with HD Ear Camera FSA, Black

This is easily the best money I’ve ever spent. It is so easy to use and set up. You don’t have to create an account or anything like that before using it. It has saved us trips to the ENT. I discovered my daughter had impacted earwax, and was able to remove the wax of the combination of a hydrogen peroxide solution and using this device to scoop out the wax once it was softened. It’s also great for just regular ear maintenance and cleaning things out out of the ears. My kids absolutely love watching the wax come out of their ears (they are 3 and 8). It has so many different tips to remove wax that you will definitely find one that is comfortable for you. The picture quality is great and I love that it gives you the option to take videos and pictures. It seems to have a good battery life also- we get many cleans before needing to charge it again. It’s small and portable so you can take it with you on the go. You will not regret this purchase!!

Before going further, it should be pointed out that you're inserting a mechanical device into your ear that can potentially touch and do damage to your ear drum. This is not a device that should be handled casually. The same can be said for Q-Tips, Clinere ear wax tools, etc. I'm not singling out the BEBIRD device. The safest method for DIY ear wax removal is still a liquid product - Debrox and others. Nuff said. The BEBIRD app in the Apple app store states that this is designed for the iPad but doesn't state that it's compatible with the iPhone. I tried with my iPad, no issues. Download the app from the Apple App Store, open the app, power on the BEBIRD device, go to your wifi settings in the iPad, connect to BEBIRD wifi. Done. No issues whatsoever. With my iPad, the output displays in portrait mode only, not landscape. This doesn't affect functionality and isn't a problem but maybe worth pointing out. I tried connecting using my iPhone but it didn't seem to want to connect. I haven't troubleshot this so probably due to something I overlooked. Apparently others have used iPhones with no issues. Here's the cool part: if you have a Mac, the app store says that the app hasn't been verified for macOS but it installed and worked perfectly, as easily as with my iPad. I'm currently using macOS Tahoe v.26.1. I now have a 23" external monitor displaying the deepest recesses of my inner ear in all it's glory and horror. Much easier to use and with a lot of screen, easier to see what you're dealing with. BEBIRD states that it's compatible with Android. A quick search found that there seems to be an app available for Windows too. I'd suggest downloading it ONLY if it's from the Microsoft Store and Google Play store, not side load it from sources that may or may not be trustworthy. At this price point I didn't have high expectations but my skepticism proved to be unfounded. The resolution is far better than you'll need to get he job done. Individual hairs display clearly, look like giant trees in a dark and haunted forest from the perspective of the camera. Waxy areas are easy to make out and the color separation decent. I imagine that you could use this for more than just ears - light repairs/projects in the house and car where you need an extra few inches of visibility to peer into areas that are otherwise inaccessible. The possibilities are almost endless. As with many other products you'll find in Amazon, it's available from multiple suppliers with various brand names. Given that the scopes appear to be virtually identical and distinguished only by the tools and supplies they ship with, I'd guess that they're manufactured by the same entity/manufacturer, sold to resellers who brand them with their names and then kit them out the way they want. Amazing device at this price point. I didn't have high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Worth every penny of the $24.00 paid. It wasn't so long go that a device like this might cost hundreds of dollars.

So I thought I dropped my earring back into my ear (don't ask) and I decided to buy this BEBIRD R1 Ear Wax Removal Tool with camera to know for sure before I went to the Dr. It came fairly quickly and I charged it right up. It didn't come with a charging square so the product is useless and the companies really need to include these if they expect people to be able to use it. I hate alternating my charging squares for a product that should've included it's own for the product to actually work/charge. The app was easy to download. Connecting to the Internet can be a task and you have to go in and select it each time. Once on, the camera is super clear and really helpful to navigate your inner ears, nose, mouth, etc. There was a couple times I tried to turn the wax scoop to remove wax and then couldn't see it with the way the camera was angled to the scooper or to the ear itself, so that could be a little frustrating. I wish I could hold it still and pan the camera over for these hard to see angles. I did bump the on/off button once or twice due to it being right on the handle and had to log back in to wifi, so the end tip of the handle may be a better placement to avoid that for others. The ear wax tool with the material that feels like the covers to old headphones (I'm dating myself here) is not easy to clean and didn't seem overly sanitary but the others were really useful. My husbands dentist pointed out a growth on his Uvula and we were able to go into his mouth and take pictures to show an ENT for a plan for removal, so that feature is really nice. The pictures save right to the app and there is now a Beta to test out video sharing. I pointed out areas for improvement but overall, I'm really, really happy with this product and we've used it several times and I'm amazed at how clear the camera is. I would recommend this product and would buy again.

“Great ear cleaning tool! The camera is very clear and makes it much easier to see inside the ear. I love that it comes with different tips for different needs, and the LED lights are very helpful. It is easy to use and connect to my phone. The case is also very convenient for keeping everything organized. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase!”

I got this because while in med school, learning to do ear exams a classmate mentioned I had a big buildup of dark, dried wax in one ear. I slept for years with one earbud in because I was an EMT and needed the earplug effect. I never noticed any hearing issues in that ear, so it was never an issue. So I got this to see if I could maybe visualize and get it out, and holy heck did it 1.) work great, but 2.) it's... WAY better at visualizing the ear canal and tympanic membrane than my multi-hundred dollar professional otoscope. It was a little painful getting deep enough with the right tip to hook the clump of wax, but once I did (the clear tip was the key) it pulled the whole thing out in one go. It was impressively large for how it didn't impact my hearing at all. Going back in with the soft tip of the scope and no tool, I was able to visualize the tympanic membrane super clearly with the bones beneath, the redness and irritation of the ear canal caused by scraping that clump out, it's shockingly clear. Again, I'd say this is a better overall image than my professional optical otoscope with how bright and clear the image is. Connectivity was good, it wasn't perfect and would occasionally hiccup and pause for a second, but when it happens you just don't move and it's no big deal. You shouldn't be going anywhere near your eardrum anyways. For the price I genuinely can't call it a drawback, with what you're getting. There are some $50 optical otoscopes on amazon that claim to be for parents who want to look in their kids' ears. This is 1000x better. You as a layperson can easily get an incredible image of your kid's (or own) ears, nose, and throat. If you're going after earwax, first use the soft tip with the biggest nozzle you can fit, and then visualize what you're dealing with before you put a tool on, because the tool does re-focus the image to be right where the tool tip is, and at first you want to see as deep as you can. Then go back in the the tool and be gentle, because the ear canals are very sensitive. Avoid pushing any wax back in, because if you impact the eardrum, that's a trip to an ENT doctor. Honestly if it wouldn't get me mocked in school and it had replaceable tips I would unironically use this over my professional Reister. I know there are professional digital otoscopes but for like $25... this is insane.

This Bebird visual ear cleaner shows a live picture on your smartphone so you can see what you are doing instead of cleaning blindly. You turn the device on, connect to its Wi-Fi (name starts with “bebird”), open the Bebird app, and the camera feed appears. The kit includes the tool, spare silicone tips, extra attachments, tweezers, a small scoop, and a USB charging cable. Image quality is good enough to see wax and the ear canal. Use it slowly and with almost no pressure — the manual is clear: do not push toward the eardrum, do not use it while walking, and keep it away from kids. Tips should sit tight so they don’t fall off. Charge it now and then; they recommend a top-up about once a month if it sits unused. Not a doctor’s visit replacement, but for careful home cleaning it works well. Build is neat, the app does the job after you allow the local Wi-Fi connection, and the price feels fair. I recommend it.

I really liked this earwax removal device. It is easy to use, practical, and has proven much more comfortable for me than other methods. Cleaning it is simple, and the size is perfect for keeping at home. So far, I am very satisfied with the purchase and recommend it.

Short summary: The camera and additional pieces were fantastic and great for capturing HD photos and keeping an eye on things in the ears/nose/throat ENT stuff you may have going on. Unfortunately, mine stopped working very soon after getting it, though I did get at least one good use. I'm trying to get it to work or exchanged, currently. Thorough review / more details: Camera - The camera quality was amazing! Way better than my last one! I'll put comparison photos in the attached, but i'll also compare the two by name below if you want to skip the images. Tool attachments - It comes with a soft safety cover for looking up your nose and your ears, and even has a tongue depressor for looking in your mouth. The attachments for tool usage screw on which feels safer to me than my previous one that I slipped a little silicone cover on (which the metal broke through at one point after much use - I don't think that will be an issue with these attachments.) I was able to safely get a good view of my eardrum, comfortably up my nose to get a clear view of the middle turbinate. There are manual accessories but they are hard/metal/etc so please be careful if you use them. Use case - My symptoms I checked on were my itchy ear canals, trouble breathing through my nose, and wisdom teeth coming in late. For my nose, I have allergies (treated/managed) and always feel \stuffy and wondered if my previous diagnosis of deviated septum applied, or something else going on, to have my own view and clear photos to compare to different doctor opinions on my nose situation. I found a doctor site with different condition photos that are the same style as what we see with the app here so I was able to compare myself. For my ears, with this higher quality camera I was able to see more detail and how incredibly red my ear canals are, but otherwise don't see any issues I can identify. I have hearing loss but I don't know enough to judge based on the view of my eardrum, just that I was able to get a good look with this product and get photos. For the mouth tool, I got a high quality close up look at my wisdom tooth breaking through my gums. It'll be helpful in monitoring to see when I have to get surgery and have them removed, because currently I am prioritizing other things. I love having this to keep an eye on stuff myself. Beta tools - I didn't have a chance to try them before it stopped working, but they are interesting to me. Comfort/safety - The attachments for the top seem like a better design than the previous one I had. I don't think they will fall off easily and feel safe in that regard. However, they are not as soft as the silicone tips from the last one I had. Battery/connectivity - It started having issues after the first use. Even though it said it had over 60% battery, and I checked the troubleshooting notes in the user guide, none of that mattered and it turned off unless i was actively holding the button. Customer service - I tried reaching out to customer service through the app and just received an automated initial response that reappeared as the most previous message whenever it refreshed. Something strange along those lines / unhelpful. It also gave the option to attach videos but wouldn't actually send them, from what I could tell (even short 6 second ones.) Return/Exchange/Refund - I am going to try charging it fully and if it still doesn't work, I will attempt an exchange first because of the superior camera quality and attachments. If I still have issues, I will try to find a comparable product or try customer service again. Comparing two products - the previous one I had (which I guess isn't on Amazon anymore but still) was from the company LEIPUT, and the app for it was 'Suear' (with an ear as the app icon.) This BEBIRD product app is 'bebird' (has a hummingbird icon.) My previous tool I had for 6 months before it stopped working. This one I had one or two days... but I do like the product more so I'm hoping I can figure it out / have a working one. I have a 6 second video of the current issue i'm having with this product in the attached to this review if anyone wants to see it. My recommendation for use - Definitely do not go closer to the eardrum than in my photo, and I only went that close with the safety attachment (black and soft silicone, not the firmer screw-on tool for getting earwax, the one just for looking.) For the nose, it's probably not good to go past the middle turbinate. Getting a good look at mine with the safety attachment is about as far as I felt comfortable going for a view in my nose. For a better look at any of these, or if you have any concerns, see an ENT doctor (Ear Nose Throat doctor). Note that if you are concerned about money and live in the US, there is likely a financial assistance program in place that will provide a discount proportionate to your FPL (Federal Poverty Level / income.) I do like this product but it's for extra insight, not replacing proper medical care :) I hope this helped! I'll try to update this later :) Update: I charged it and it still didn't work :/ I'll reach out to Amazon.
