During my last trip to India I was intrigued by the social norms, occupational cues and semi-uniformity surrounding the ear-cleaning profession.
Kaan-saaf wallas often don red head-gear and subtly sport a fresh cue-tip alongside other professional apparatus. This alerts folks to their services without the need for brash announcements of their humble and sensitive trade. More images.
Gotta love those who’s work revolves around enhancing our ability to listen.

I found your blog via Sound Horn Please. This is really interesting… I hope I spot a Kaan-saaf walla next time I’m in India!
