It comprises first and second body members, the first body member comprising two sections, a screen separating the two sections, one of such sections having a tube communicating with its interior and being adapted for insertion in an ear, said one section enclosing a space for receiving debris extracted from the ear and being separably connected to the other section to permit removal of such debris, the other section comprising a fan to provide a vacuum for removing debris from the ear, the second body member acting as a handle for the first body member and providing a receptacle for batteries to energize the fan. Preferably contamination is avoided by mounting the cleaner on a pedestal.
