Tracked delivery anywhere in the United States, free on every order with no minimum. Candle kits and ear discs arrive in 5 to 7 business days and the otoscope and the camera in 10 to 14, after one to two days of processing.
Change of mind is not a legal right in the United States, so the 15 days we give you from delivery is our own policy rather than a statutory return, and the goods have to come back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery. You cover the cost of returning it unless the item is faulty.
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you, and the implied warranties that arise under your state's law are unaffected, return postage included. Those guarantees cannot be excluded.

About this product
See the outer canal on a screen instead of working blind.
A 5.5mm camera and an LED at the tip of a 15cm metal pen, on a 120cm USB cable. Windows and Android with OTG. Not compatible with iPhone or Mac.
A slim metal pen with a 5.5mm camera and an LED at the tip, on a 120cm USB cable.
Works with Windows PCs and with Android phones and tablets that support USB OTG. It is NOT compatible with iOS or macOS.
0.3 megapixels with a focus distance of 1.5cm, which is what makes it sharp close up.
In the box: one camera pen, two ear picks, three dust covers, a software CD and a user manual.
It is a consumer inspection camera. It does not diagnose anything and it does not replace an examination by a clinician.
Stay at the opening of the ear. Do not push the tip in, and do not use the picks out of sight.
Ships from the United States.
A slim metal pen, about 15cm long, with a 5.5mm camera and an LED at the tip and a 120cm USB cable at the other end. Plug it into a Windows PC, or an Android phone or tablet that supports USB OTG, and what the tip is pointed at appears on the screen.
The lens is 0.3 megapixels with a focus distance of 1.5cm. That is a deliberate specification rather than a cheap one: it is built to be sharp at the distance a tip sits from a canal wall.
It is not compatible with iOS or macOS. If an iPhone or a Mac is all you have to plug it into, this is the wrong product, and we would rather say so on the page than have you find out at the kitchen table.
Two ear picks and three dust covers come in the box. The point of the camera is to SEE the outer canal instead of working blind, and the sensible use is exactly that: look, and stop. Wax that will not come away easily is a job for a clinician.
Wipe the tip with a dry cloth and wash the metal picks in warm soapy water, drying them fully. Do not submerge the pen or the cable.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Change of mind is not a legal right in the United States, so the 15 days we give you from delivery is our own policy rather than a statutory return, and the goods have to come back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Goods sold in the United States carry implied warranties of merchantability and fitness under your state's adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code, and nothing here waives them: they must be of acceptable quality, match their description, and do what we said they would. If they do not, you are entitled to a repair, a replacement or a refund, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss. For a major failure the choice between a refund and a replacement is yours, not ours, and we pay the return postage on anything faulty, damaged or not as described. A change-of-mind return within our own 15 day window is at your cost. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
It is a slim metal pen with a small camera and an LED at the tip. Plugged into a computer or an Android phone, it shows what the tip is pointed at on the screen.
What does it connect to?
Windows PCs, and Android phones and tablets that support USB OTG.
Does it work with an iPhone or a Mac?
No. It is not compatible with iOS or macOS.
What is the lens?
5.5mm across, about 0.22 inches, at 0.3 megapixels, with a focus distance of 1.5cm.
How long is the pen and the cable?
The pen is about 15cm and the cable is about 120cm, so roughly 5.9 and 47 inches.
What is in the box?
One camera pen, two ear picks, three dust covers, a software CD and a user manual.
What is it made of?
The pen and the picks are metal. The pen is black with a silver stripe.
Can I record video and take photographs?
Yes, through the bundled software on the connected device.
Is it a medical device?
No. It is a consumer inspection camera. It does not diagnose anything and it does not replace an examination by a clinician.
Can I clean my own ears with it?
It is sold so that someone can SEE the outer ear canal. Do not push it in, and do not use the picks blind. Wax that will not come away needs a clinician, not a tool.
How far in should it go?
Only just inside the opening of the ear. Stop immediately if there is any discomfort.
Can I use it on a child?
We would not. A child's ear canal is narrow and children move.
How do I clean the tip and the picks?
Wipe the tip with a dry cloth. Wash the metal picks in warm soapy water and dry them fully. Do not submerge the pen or the cable.
Does it need batteries?
No. It draws power over the USB connection.
Do I have to install the software?
On Windows, yes, from the CD. On Android most USB camera apps will recognise it.
Is the light hot?
No. It is a low power LED. It should still not be left resting against skin.
Can I use it for anything else?
People use them for close inspection generally: a keyhole, a drain, the back of a cabinet.
Where does it ship from?
The United States.
Does it come with a warranty?
It is covered by our 15 day returns window and by the manufacturer against faults.
Are the prices in US dollars?
Yes. Every price on this site is in US dollars, and no sales tax is added at checkout.
How much is delivery?
Nothing. Delivery is free on every order with no minimum spend, and every order is tracked.
How long will my order take?
10 to 14 business days, after 1 to 2 days processing. You get a tracking link by email as soon as your parcel is on its way.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Yes. We ship to most countries and delivery is free there too. Customs charges in the destination country are the buyer's responsibility.
Can I track my order?
Yes. A tracking number is emailed as soon as the parcel ships, and there is a tracking page on this site.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 15 days of delivery, in original condition and original packaging. The original processing and shipping cost is deducted from the refund. Faulty, damaged or incorrect items are put right at our cost.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Email us within 15 days with a photograph and your order number and we will replace it or refund it.
Can I cancel an order?
Only before it has been processed and shipped. A cancellation we can still action carries a 5 percent processing charge.
How do I pay?
By card through Stripe, or with PayPal. We never see or store your card details.
Is there a discount code?
Yes. Use valued-customer at the cart for 15 percent off.
Who do I contact if something is wrong?
Email theteam@earcandlehealth.com with your order number. That address reaches our support team directly.

What the camera pen is
A slim metal pen, about 15cm long, with a 5.5mm camera and an LED at the tip and
a 120cm USB cable at the other end. Plug it into a Windows PC, or into an Android
phone or tablet that supports USB OTG, and what the tip is pointed at appears on
the screen. The bundled software records video and takes photographs.
The lens is 0.3 megapixels with a focus distance of 1.5cm, which is what makes it
usable close up: it is built to be sharp at the distance a tip sits from a canal
wall, not across a room.
What it does not do
It is a consumer inspection camera. It does not diagnose anything and it does not
replace an examination by a clinician.
It is also not compatible with iOS or macOS. If you have an iPhone or a Mac and
nothing else to plug it into, this is not the right product for you, and we would
rather say so here than have you find out at the kitchen table.
Using it sensibly
Two ear picks and three dust covers come in the box. The point of the camera is
that you can SEE the outer part of the canal instead of working blind, and the
sensible use is exactly that: look, and stop.
Do not push the tip in. Stay at the opening. Stop immediately at any discomfort.
Wax that will not come away easily is a job for a clinician, and a pick used out
of sight is how eardrums get damaged.
We would not use it on a child. The canal is narrower and children move.
Cleaning and care
Wipe the tip with a dry cloth. The metal picks wash in warm soapy water and must
be dried fully. Do not submerge the pen or the cable, and do not run either under
a tap.
What is in the box
One camera pen, two ear picks, three dust covers, a software CD and a user
manual. It draws power over USB, so there are no batteries to buy. It ships from
the United States.
