0:00.0	It depends on the ear wax. I will tell you most people will never need a professional ear cleaning in their whole life.
0:07.0	We do not all make a lot of ear wax and if we leave it alone, like do nothing to our ears, the ear actually tries to self clean.
0:13.7	When you see people using Q tips or buying these products online,
0:16.6	like that is dangerous and actually causing more of a problem.
0:20.8	So I think knowledge is power in this case, so I think every home should have that ear camera.
0:30.0	All right guys, we got Emily Taylor here, Dr. Ehrwax.
