TLDR: The Spade Smart Ear Wax Remover is a smart and safe way to see and remove wax buildup in your ear canals, now at with an extra Memorial Day Sale savings.
This is going to be…well, a little bit gross — but we’ve gotta talk about earwax. Specifically, your earwax. And even more specifically, how all that earwax you’re currently carrying around might actually be impacting your hearing.
For those who instantly think that’s an impossibility, it’s not. A medical study found accumulated earwax is actively affecting how about 10 percent of people are hearing right now. And earwax accounts for almost 8 million medical removal procedures each year.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be that way. With a tool like the Spade Ear Wax Remover ($80.99 after code CLEAN13 from TNW Deals), you won’t just think you’re doing a good job cleaning out your ears, you’ll see you’re doing a good job.

The biggest problem is that even if you’re using an unsafe instrument like a cotton swab to clear out buildup in your auditory canal, that wiping often doesn’t remove waxy concentrations. It only pushes the wax even deeper into your ear, ultimately leading to impacted hearing. Which makes sense considering you can’t see a thing you’re doing in there.
The Spade tears away the mystery behind this process. At the end of this expertly designed probe is a 3MPX WiFi-connected sensor camera that feeds video of what it sees in your ear to the free Spade app on your phone.
With that kind of vision, along with the booming 6 inner-mounted LED lights illuminating the way, it’s easy to use the replaceable ear pick attachment to just gently, but almost surgically scoop out and remove even the most stubborn wax deposits. In case you’re worried, the entire tool is also temperature controlled, so it will always remain at room temperature inside your ear, even with the lights on full.
The Spade is stored inside the 3-in-1 charger, dock and storage unit, which can help keep the 350mAh battery in there working for up to 60 days on a single charge.
