It's not a scam but like many street services in countries with low regulations and government oversight of street performers/salesmen/servers there are some scammers poisoning the bunch. In some countries with ear cleaning culture you'll find the service is provided in barber shops after a hair cut/shave or through dedicated salons and health spas
Thanks for your insights - I’ve heard so many conflicting accounts that I really didn’t know what to believe. It seems that the people who label it a ‘scam’ are confusing a perceived lack of hygiene and/or safety, with the money charged for the process (never really in doubt) 👍
@@InvestedAdventure that's not true actually sometimes earwax dry up and stick to the skin of ears or to the small hairs present over there.. so when its removed it hurts..
No your ear is very sensitive when foreign objects invades the ear due to the nerve receptors signals more pain most nerves around the body. The only way to tell if you have infection, if your ear already hurts prior to invading foreign products entering the ear, another way is entering a foreign object in the ear without contacting any surrounding walls of the ear canal. The hair itself will feel object coming through and if it Hurts then you most likely have an ear infection most likely a fungus in your ear
@@InvestedAdventure no. Struggling in the fact that they’re doing this for a fraction of the amount it would cost in your country, so they can afford food to eat, yet you still want a bargain. How about give more than you take from them.
Yeah I'm from Mumbai that ear cleaning isn't medically recommended as far as I know. Can rupture your ear drum if they mess up from what I've heard. Man you're trying things I wouldn't dare to in my own city 🤣.
Ear cleaning is not a scam, ears have been claened this way in many countries for thousands of years, but there are some who will scam you by charging you 10x, 20x or as much as 100x more than the standard rate of 60-80 Rupees for the same procedure. I must advise that if you get your ears cleaned this way again, you must sit still and stay quiet, failure to do so could lead to injury, the ear cleaner needs his/her full concentration to carry out the delicate procedure & if you move while they are cleaning your ears the metal scrapers can damage the eardrum.

ngl when it comes to cleaning ears. dont risk it, im okey with the normal cleaning bUT ANY SUBSTANCE THEY WANT TO PUT IN UR EAR DENY IT. you never know they arent doctors could have bad side effects.
There are different types of earwax: hard/flaky and wet/sticky. If the guy is used to working with hard wax (which *is* more common in the East) he might be pressing too hard for your wax.
That close-up on the ear-juice damn I live in a nearby state, been there a couple times, and always walked past these guys. And i don't think they're being hygienic enough! Understand the tourist-spirit though! Stay safe and have fun!
Accurate observation - it never stops, day or night, everywhere in the country. They are doing it to warn other road users of their presence, almost like 'sonar', beyond relying on sight. I guess its because there are no rules or etiquette on India's roads so everyone is constantly swerving to avoid one another. And hence, the horns!
There are many uneducated drivers on the road , who get their licence by bribes. So they are unaware of the road rules. Plus the population density is so high that the roads are jammed half the times. Hence to aware others , they honk. Cause people don’t check mirrors here😂

You are a very kind person. God bless you. Enjoy your time in Mumbai.
Thats so kind of you to say. Thank you very much
If it's painful they're causing damage to your ear drum. Ear cleaning is never supposed to be painful unless you have an infection.
…or they are causing damage to your ear drum?
Thats just wrong, your ear is very sensitive, sometimes more sensitive than yesterday so pain varies and depends on the person
@@InvestedAdventure that's not true actually sometimes earwax dry up and stick to the skin of ears or to the small hairs present over there.. so when its removed it hurts..
yapping....do you know what earwax is?

The Indian people are struggling and tourists with money want to haggle. Kindness is a super power.
‘Struggling’ in the sense that they are desperately trying to overcharge, and not being given an easy ride?

Thats a really good point Amine, I'm glad I was naturally too thrifty to accept the offer of that additional 'oil' drop in the ear!
There are different types of earwax: hard/flaky and wet/sticky. If the guy is used to working with hard wax (which *is* more common in the East) he might be pressing too hard for your wax.
That’s delicious

Thank you for the intel brother! Indeed, B.I.G. would have been in his element (juicy)
I love these vlogs..you are so polite and respectful like Dale Phillips
Thanks my friend
I've noticed that the footage in india, whenever it's near a road, i hear the drivers honking horns almost constantly. Why is this?

The horn in India is connected to the lungs, when they breathe the horn will automatically sound
Honestly id rather have someone else clean ny ear rather than blindly doing myself. Not saying this is entirely safe but still.
Fair point!
thank u brother for your kindness

Indian scammer charges 40 rupees per ear but he only do 40 for both if you live in the country
That’s good to know!
No its not SCAM .. and he did a GooD job .
I thought so, but others have warned me to be careful (I’ve heard all sorts!)
