Abstract

A lighted ear wax remover consists of an elongated pick means (1), a hand grip member (2) and a wire member (3). The lighted ear wax remover has a light-emitting device (11) towards the end of an elongated pick means (12) which is made up of transparent material. The light-emitting device (11), which is connected to two button cell batteries (4) that are set inside of the round area of hand grip member (2) through electric wire, lightens the dark area of the inside of cared person's ear canal when operator sees the inside of cared person's ear canal to pick cared person's ear wax. The hand grip member (2), which is designed ergonomically, is large enough for operator to take easily and conveniently. The hand grip member (2) accommodates two button cell batteries (4) inside of the round type upper area. The other area, which is connected to the elongated pick means (1) directly, has a switch (24) on one side to control the electricity. The wire member transmits electricity from two button cell batteries (4) to light-emitting device (11) in the elongated pick means (1).
