Abstract
An ear cleaning device is provided for removing debris from an ear. In one form, the ear cleaning device includes a shaft, a head connected to the shaft, and a contiguous pocket structure of the head. The contiguous pocket structure includes a plurality of pockets that may be configured to receive debris. In another form, the ear cleaning device has a handle, a bulbous cleaner connected to the handle, and a solid inner core of the bulbous cleaner. The bulbous cleaner has two or more spaced, longitudinal walls disposed outward of the inner core that are configured to remove debris with turning of the ear cleaning device about a longitudinal axis of the device.

An elongate ear cleaning device having a longitudinal axis, the ear cleaning device comprising:
- a handle having opposite ends;
- an ear-cleaning utensil at one end of the handle;
- an elongate head at the other end of the handle;
- the handle, ear-cleaning utensil, and the head having a unitary, one-piece construction;
- an inner shaft of the head;
- a plurality of longitudinal walls extending outward from the inner shaft and along the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a plurality of lateral walls outward of the inner shaft and extending transverse to the longitudinal axis.
An elongate ear cleaning device having a longitudinal axis, the ear cleaning device comprising:
- a handle having opposite ends;
- an ear-cleaning utensil at one end of the handle;
- a head at the other end of the handle;
- the handle, ear-cleaning utensil, and the head having a unitary, one-piece construction;
- a pair of planar, longitudinal walls of the head extending along the longitudinal axis, each wall having a pair of opposite flat surfaces and an outer scraping edge;
