good idea but certain depths of your ear are not meant to be touched with anything but coroner's tools should you die or surgical tools for removing fluid, inserting internal hearing aids, laying open tissue and skull for the process of brain surgery or just plain stabbing yourself in the head. |

A+ for quick thinking, [-] for no resources. |

Never stick anything in your ear except of course your elbow. |

I prefer to leave the insertion of cameras into my orifices to professionals. But some people have more curiosity. (+) |

Ear wax removal is big in Japan. There, this is a very sellable idea - and it exists in a couple of versions. See link for one of them. |

Thanks [jutta] thats almost exactly what Im talking about. I wanted to create something that would be cheap. Webcams are really cheap, I want to make a webcam (with special focal lenght) that you can watch on your computer, with the Q-Tip holder feature. |

A cheap tiny remote cam for small places would be a great science toy. The first place I'd put it would be inside the bee hive. |

It would scare me.... A good idead for some, but not for me. But I wouldn't have to buy it! Seriously, though. Think about it. A dude from the future teleports onto your front porch. You get to talking. You ask him, "So, you guys use computers for everything from games to earwax in the future, eh?" He agrees. |

I used to work for an outfit that made digital dental cameras - these have been abused for similar purposes, as well as what I shall refer to as cervical porn. |
