You know, it’s a standard bottle-brush/metal loop/magnet combo tool...

What is this tool we found in my parents’ house? It has a tiny bottle brush, a tiny metal loop, and a tiny magnet. Pics inside.

Photos pretty much say it all. We have no other information to go on.

Photo 1, with cap on
Photo 2, with cap off
Photo 3, with magnet at the end of the cap visible.

Thanks!

Best answer: Hearing aid cleaner? Magnet for removing the battery, loop for earwax and brush for scrubbing.

Looks like it would be a good thing for earbuds.
