Actually this does exist - well, sorta (its not a vac that goes in the eustachian tube). They insert a small vacuum into your ear and it sucks all the wax buildup out. Ive had this done many times. The pressure and sound of the vac is not so wonderful (since its so close to the eardrum), but its an in-office procedure that takes just a couple minutes.
