Ear Probe Fetish Reaches New Heights

Filed under: ENT

Japan's Coden has come out with a new line of Ear Scopes to help the Asian public avoid having to use webcams, or multi-mirror arrays, to check their wax status. Pictured here are the GXL and the Ear Scope TV (Broadcast viewership: You).

We'll admit it: we just don't get it. And we're speaking as people who

  • enjoy gadgets
  • enjoy diagnosing ear pathology
  • once considered specializing in otolaryngology
  • understand that Asians have a different, drier kind of ear wax
  • But still.
