Another day, another Kickstarter. Who doesn't want an in-ear camera system?
Ever felt like you're flying blind when cleaning your ears? Traditional cotton swabs can be ineffective and even push wax further into the ear canal. TOFARO, a new visual ear cleaner on the scene, promises a safer, more precise clean with the help of a high-definition camera.

TOFARO boasts a 1080p HD camera that transmits a live feed to your smartphone or tablet via a dedicated app. This allows you to magnify and examine the inner ear, ensuring you only clean what needs cleaning. Blurry images are a thing of the past, thanks to TOFARO's advanced lens technology.

Safety is paramount when it comes to ear care. TOFARO features a detachable cleaning head with a built-in storage compartment. This not only keeps the head clean and hygienic but also prevents accidental loss. The 360-degree angle detection and a smart gyroscope ensure you have complete control and can maneuver the cleaning rod precisely within the ear canal.

TOFARO is designed to be compact and portable. It can be carried around easily (though would you want to?). It has a WiFi hotspot that you connect your phone/tablet to and then the app simply connects via this.

Though not a medical device, it's always important to ensure the device is used safely and shouldn't be used if previous problems with any parts of the ear.

Looking inside your ear may show unexpected things and if these are serious seek medical advice rather than poking around and damaging yourself.

The silicon scrapers are relatively soft and if placed behind any wax and gently pulled forward, the wax usually comes with it.

| USB-C charging |
Again, if wax lodged in the ear and doesn't want to move, don't try forcing it, you can do damage to the surrounding area.

The above is a view from the camera of a real ear.
It's a novel device with a decent camera (and gyroscopic stabilisation if required).
