How to Use the Asian Ear Cleaning Tools?
Ear cleaning the Asian way is easy to adopt.
- Start slowly and gently from the outer ear.
- Feel how each tool moves on the ear.
- Constantly seek feedback from the receiver and adjust your move accordingly.
Step-by-step ear care guide
The following is my recommended ear cleaning routine. Feel free to create your own flow once you get familiar with the tools.
Get Comfortable
Set the place
Choose a safe and quiet place for ear cleaning. A comfortable reclining position works best. Use a good focused light that lets you see into the ear.
Communicate
Seek feedback
In the beginning, always ask for feed-back. "How do you feel?", "Do you like this?" to assure an enjoyable session.
Shaver
Trim ear hair
The foldable shaver is designed to trim hairs around the outer ear. It's one of my favorite tools as the trimming provides a sensational audible feeling.
Install a replaceable blade to dry shave the ear hairs. The aim is to trim long hair and keep things neat.
Earpick
Scoop out ear wax
The essential, traditional Asian ear cleaning tool. Use it to spoon soft, hard or flaky ear wax out.
Wire Loop
Feel the debris
Highly flexible tool. Use it to safely and gently remove debris from any place in the ear. You can actually feel the debris, due to its fineness.
Feather Blade
Loosen ear wax
Slightly bent the head of the blade and brush against places that need attention and remove ear wax. You can also twirl cotton around the tip and sweep off debris.
Excavator
Twist out large debris
If your ears haven't had proper care for a long time, it is often the case that you will find large clumps of earwax mixed with hair and dirt. Use this two pronged tool to pick up large earwax or debris of buildup.
Tweezer
Pick debris from outer ear
Pick and remove loose debris from the outer ear area with this precision tweezer. Do NOT use this tool inside the ear canal.
Ball Head
Massage ears and eyelids
Massage the entire front and back surface of your ears.
The procedure is extremely relaxing because ear massage stimulates your blood circulation.
In Vietnam this tool is also used for the legendary “Eyelid Massage”. Watch the video on our blog.
Down Puff
The sensational finishing touch
Rotate the puff and sweep the ears surfaces. A moment that truly can be described as intercourse for your ear.
The Finish
Fold and tap
Fold the ear lobe and then the upper ear over the ear channel. Gently tap the back of your finger. This sets everything in balance and indicates to the recipient that the cleaning is finished.
Caution
- Make sure you clean ears in a safe environment.
- No infant or pet around.
- Don't use on infants or pets.
