PREVENT EARWAX BUILD-UP! Dont allow earwax to build up in the ear canal. This excessive build-up can become a health issue and is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. The bamboo used in these ear picks is very high quality and hand-selected for springiness and comfort. Craftsmen shape the bamboo ear picks to the thinnest it can be to keep the springiness and prevent premature breakage. The shape of the spoon allows you to catch the wax easily.
