Professional Ear Cleaner

One of Dhaka's strangest professionals can be found in some of the popular public parks in the city, like Ramna Park and Suhrawardi Uddyan. With a set of peacock feathers, forceps and fine needles, these people are waiting to give you the comfort of clean and wax free ear. The joggers and park visitors often get their service at the cost of a very minimum charge which is often not more than 20 taka for both ears. According to most of the users, when these ear cleaners clean their ears, it feels so comfortable that many people fall asleep. And the skill of these ear cleaners is passed down from generation to generation. However, this profession is becoming rare as many people do not want to clean their ear by these people, with the availability of cheap and handy cotton buds in the market. Physicians also discourage this trade, as the tools of these ear cleaners are not at all hygienic. Serious damage to the ear drums and infections can break out at any moment. However, in many public parks and in the public places of small towns, these ear cleaners can be seen waiting for their customers with their set of peculiar tools.
