Wax Bee Gone: A Safe, Effective Solution to Ear Wax Removal

This project sought to combine conventional methods such as scraping and water pressure to removal ear wax, but with electronic automation to removal the potential for human error as much as possible. Through the use of a 9V battery, and Arduino microcontroller, DC motors, and other circuitry, this project has developed a prototype for a device that can properly remove ear wax without any discomfort or risk to the user. Much of this project involved learning how to properly manipulate and provide the necessary power requirements DC motors from an Arduino and a 9V battery. Additionally, creating a 3D printed shell to house all the components in a watertight case was one of the more difficult parts of the project. This device can be used by any age group or level of experience. From our empirical data this product satisfies the need that was not fulfilled when the project began
