It is amazing just what a person can learn from this site! (Having worn hearing aids for 40 years I've sometimes wanted to be able to visually inspect for wax build-up myself...)
I have one of the mini endoscopes. Could not get it to work. The instructions were in Chinese. I hooked to a computer and cot a message warning not to open the program. Back to the cell phone, found same message.
Anyone want it? If I can find it . Send a response here and I will send. FREE

I'll just let the doctors look for ear wax. (I've been wearing hearing aids since 1956)
It can't be well made, based on the price. But there are actual good reviews of it, which is a bit surprising.

You have to be careful judging an item by price. Some inexpensive things are quality items, others not so much. Then, by the same token, I have seen high priced things that sucked quality wise, especially some "Name Brand" items

Dpullum mentions ear wax. I have one he mentioned. If anyone wants it, post private and it'yours. It is about 4mm in diameter and two meters long.
I do have a prediction, tho.
In the near future you will get one of these and an app that connects to your proctologist. No more office visits. The procedure in the comfort of your bathtub.
"Can you move a bit to the left? You didn't drink all your co-litely, did you? Disability poor". Just like Star Treck, the captain guides his prob straight to Uranus.

Now, why do I give it away? Instructions in Chinese, and a warning of bugs if I open.

Only up until recently earwax did not matter - the sound was just blasted into the ear (I've had some back in the day that did that. Only wore them whenever it was absolutely necessary.)
Now hearing aids are so much more sophisticated and one feature they have is their ability to be adjusted to provide the proper processed sound at the ear drum according to the hearing test results. The different sound path for each ear is an important design criteria to be considered. Hence any earwax that becomes lodged along that path and that is where it always lodges will degrade the sound pattern reaching the eardrum.
My experience with wax buildup is it happens every two weeks or so and I don't want to run to the audiologist that often even though it is fine with him.
Off course the latest version can be set to just "blast the sound" but it's a shame to pay the current prices and not take advantage of the good they can do for hearing well when adjusted properly.

You mentioned an earwax endoscope. I offer to send it to anyone in CONUS for FREE.

A friend decided he wanted a digital microscope.
He bought a pro model with a swing arm that allowed 18 inches of movement similar to an electric slide saw. And 360 degrees of swing.
Alonh with a computer powerful enough to handle the info.
His stacking program was a problem from day one. After some heated words with a tech he got something that solved the problem. Afterwards the photos were needle sharp and to die for.
Glad I am not the jealous kind.
I forgot, by the time he was done he had three grand or so invested.
Which compared to a hi end camera, lens and flash, not bad. Awkward in the field, tho. (Never used in the field).
With everything was forty or fifty or so pounds.
