Change of mind is not a legal right in Australia, so the 15 days we give you from delivery is our own policy rather than a statutory return, and the goods have to come back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery. You cover the cost of returning it unless the item is faulty.
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you under the consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law, return postage included. Those guarantees cannot be excluded.
Wipe the lamp end with water or alcohol and let it dry. Wash the spoon tips in warm soapy water between uses and between people. Do not put the handle under water.

About this product
Stop cleaning your ears blind.
A 4.5mm camera on a soft spoon, six LEDs, 1080p to your phone over its own wifi. IP67 at the lamp end and about 30 minutes on a charge.
A wireless ear pick with a 4.5mm camera on the end, so you can see the ear canal instead of working blind.
1080p full HD from a 3.0MP lens, lit by six LEDs, held level by a three-axis gyroscope.
Connects to a phone over its own wifi using the Be Bird app. No cable.
About 30 minutes of use per charge, around 20 days on standby, about half an hour to charge.
IP67 at the lamp end, so the tip rinses clean. Soft spoon tips in more than one shape.
For the outer ear canal only. It is a cleaning tool, not a medical device.
The reason people push a cotton bud too far is that they cannot see. This puts a 4.5mm camera on the end of a soft spoon, lights it with six LEDs and streams 1080p to your phone, so what you are about to touch is on the screen.
It connects over its own wifi rather than a cable. Hold the button for three seconds, join the network the device makes, and the Be Bird app walks you through the first use. It runs about thirty minutes on a charge and sits on standby for about twenty days.
A three-axis gyroscope keeps the picture level as the tip turns, which matters more than it sounds: a camera this small in a curved canal is otherwise very hard to read.
The lamp end is rated IP67, so you can rinse it or wipe it with alcohol. The soft spoon tips come in more than one shape and wash in warm soapy water, and there are enough of them that nobody has to share one.
Stay at the outer part of the canal. The camera gives you a view, not a licence to go deeper, and if something will not move then it is a job for a clinic. Put it away and see a doctor if you have ear pain, discharge, an infection, grommets, a perforated eardrum, hearing loss or ringing.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Change of mind is not a legal right in Australia, so the 15 days we give you from delivery is our own policy rather than a statutory return, and the goods have to come back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Under the Australian Consumer Law our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded: they must be of acceptable quality, match their description, and do what we said they would. If they do not, you are entitled to a repair, a replacement or a refund, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss. For a major failure the choice between a refund and a replacement is yours, not ours, and we pay the return postage on anything faulty, damaged or not as described. A change-of-mind return within our own 15 day window is at your cost. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
A 1080p picture from a 3.0 megapixel lens, 4.5mm across, lit by six LEDs, streamed to your phone so you can see the ear canal instead of working blind.
Can it take pictures and video?
Yes. The app can capture stills and record video from the camera.
Is the picture clear?
It is a full HD image with its own lighting and a three-axis gyroscope, so it stays steady as the tip turns.
What app does it use?
The Be Bird app. Press and hold the button for three seconds, connect your phone to the device's wifi, and it walks you through the first use.
Does it work with an Android phone?
Yes, and with an iPhone. It makes its own wifi connection rather than plugging in.
Does it need a cable?
No. It is wireless and USB rechargeable.
How long does the battery last?
The 130mAh battery runs for about 30 minutes of continuous use, or about 20 days on standby. A full charge takes about half an hour.
Is it waterproof?
The tip is rated IP67, so you can rinse the lamp end under water or wipe it with alcohol. Do not put the body of the handle under water.
Will the lens scratch my ear?
The spoons are soft plastic and the lens sits behind them. Go slowly, stay at the outer part of the canal and never push.
How deep can I see?
You can see the outer canal clearly. It is not designed to go deep, and deep is where damage happens.
Is it safe for all ages?
It is for adults, and for older children with an adult doing it. Do not use it on a baby or a small child.
Who should not use it?
Anyone with a current ear infection, discharge, ear pain, grommets, a perforated eardrum or recent ear surgery. See a doctor instead.
Can I use it if I have an ear infection?
No. Leave the ear alone and see a doctor.
Does it hurt?
It should not. If it does, stop. Pain means you have gone too far in or you are pressing.
Can it remove hard wax?
Softened wax lifts out easily. Hard, impacted wax is better softened first or dealt with at a clinic, and forcing it is how eardrums get hurt.
Does it prevent ear infections?
No. It is a cleaning tool. Sharing tips without cleaning them is the thing to avoid, which is why it comes with spares.
What tips come with it?
A set of soft spoon tips in more than one shape, so different ear canals get one that fits.
Can the family share it?
Yes, with a clean tip per person. Wash the tips between people.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the lamp end with water or alcohol and let it dry. Wash the spoon tips in warm soapy water.
How often should I use it?
Only when your ears feel blocked or itchy. Ears clean themselves most of the time.
Can I use it on both ears?
Yes, with a clean tip each time.
Is it better than cotton buds?
Cotton buds push wax deeper and you cannot see what you are doing. This lets you see, which is the whole point of it.
Do I need someone to help me?
No. You watch the screen while you use it, so you can do it yourself.
How big is it?
About 5.7 inches long, so it fits in a drawer or a travel bag.
Does it store the images?
The app on your phone saves anything you capture. The device itself has no storage.
Should I ask an audiologist first?
If you have hearing loss, ringing, pain, discharge or a history of eardrum problems, yes.
Is this a medical device?
No. It is a consumer ear cleaning tool with a camera. It is not for diagnosis and it does not replace a clinician looking in your ear.
Are the prices in Australian dollars?
Yes, and every price on this site includes GST.
How much is delivery?
Free on orders over $75. Below that it is $27.50. Every order goes by the same tracked service.
Can I return it?
Within 15 days of purchase, in original packaging, with proof of purchase, at your cost of return. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are additional to that and cannot be excluded.

Seeing what you are doing
The reason people push cotton buds too far is that they cannot see. This puts a
4.5mm camera on the end of a soft spoon, lights it with six LEDs, and streams
1080p to your phone, so the thing you are about to touch is on the screen in
front of you.
It connects over its own wifi rather than a cable. Hold the button for three
seconds, join the network the device creates, and the Be Bird app takes it from
there, with a walkthrough for the first time.
What is in the specification
1080p full HD, 3.0MP lens, 4.5mm across
Six LEDs around the lens
Three-axis gyroscope, so the picture stays level as the tip turns
130mAh battery: about 30 minutes of use, about 20 days on standby, about half
an hour to charge
IP67 rated at the lamp end, so it rinses clean
About 5.7 inches long
Soft spoon tips in more than one shape
Using it without hurting yourself
Stay at the outer part of the canal. The camera gives you a view, not a licence
to go deeper. If you meet resistance, stop rather than pushing: hard wax that
does not want to move is a job for a clinic, and an eardrum is millimetres past
where you should be.
Use a clean tip per person and per ear. Wipe the lamp end with water or alcohol
afterwards and wash the spoon tips in warm soapy water.
What it is not
It is a consumer ear cleaning tool with a camera on it. It is not a medical
device, it does not diagnose anything, and looking at a picture of your own ear
canal is not the same as a clinician looking at it.
If you have ear pain, discharge, a current infection, grommets, a perforated
eardrum, hearing loss or ringing, put this away and see a doctor.
