WHAT DOES EARPICK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ear pick

Ear picks, also called ear scoops, or ear spoons, are a type of curette used to clean the ear canal of earwax. In Asia these are traditionally made from bamboo or precious metals such as silver or gold, but more commonly now, from stainless steel or plastic. European ear scoops produced up to the early 19th century were made from either bronze or precious metals such as silver. Use of ear picks to remove wax is discouraged by some health professionals for fear of damaging the ear and causing infections.
