What Is Smartbud
Smartbud is an ear cleaning tool that can replace cotton buds. Over the years, doctors have discovered the harm that accompanies cleaning the ear with cotton swabs. With cotton buds, the wax is further pushed into the ear canal, clogging the canal, which may lead to a loss of hearing or ear infections.
However, with Smartbud, the tiny silicone scoops away the wax, safely removing them from the ear canal. Also, Smartbud has a built-in HD camera, through which you can monitor your ear canal on your smartphone as you clean.
Does It Work
Smartbud does what it advertises. It can safely remove ear wax from your ears without pushing the wax further into your ear canal. A user wrote this on Trustpilot:

Conclusion
We have reviewed ear cleaning tools in the past, such as Q-grips, which promised to provide alternative, safer ear cleaning than cotton swabs, but they failed to keep that promise. However, for Smartbuds, we have seen enough positive reviews to conclude that this product works. Although the little scare is the risk of puncturing the ear drum, but if one is careful enough, that can be avoided.
