Abstract: The present invention teaches an improved ear cleaner consisting of one piece of solid flat plastic, inexpensively molded or stamped to an elongate oval shape with one aperture at each end to form a loop. The present invention teaches that an improved ear cleaner may be made of a length such that it becomes difficult for the user to damage their ear drum. The invention further teaches that an improved ear cleaner may be made having a rounded shape and a soft consistency such that should the ear cleaning head (a thin and soft loop) impact the ear drum, it will bend rather than injure the ear drum. The present invention further teaches a method of manufacturing the ear cleaner which provides a very inexpensive method of making a one piece ear cleaner requiring no further assembly after manufacture. The present invention further teaches that the ear cleaner may advantageously be stamped rather than molded for further decrease in cost of manufacture.
