In ear headset cleaning

[ozziecat35]

I have a custom molds for my clarity aloft, and maybe twice a month I will lose sound in an ear due to some clogged ear wax. I feel I’m a generally clean person, but the holes in my ear molds are like magnets for the little ear wax I produce. Has anyone found a super small diameter cleaning apparatus that will get ALL the wax out instead of just the very first layer I can get with a safety pin?

I guess the ear molds don’t pop off easily like tips for ear buds?

I have nothing to add, but this is like the grossest topic ever. However, on a personal level, I do enjoy using a q-tip once in a while. I'll just say that it is entertaining sometimes to see the contraptions people wear that aren't A20's. I sometimes want to ask "is there a laser range finder eye piece that goes with that too?"

I’m kinda surprised the custom earpiece vendors don’t have something. I hear there’s some kind of vacuum tool available.

I haven’t founds going custom necessary, so that hasn’t been an issue. Those 3M yellows the audiologists use have worked great and are cheap enough in bulk to toss when they get grungy.

Normally, I'd use hot, soapy water for this, but you got me thinking....you might try using some of the over-the-counter earwax cleaner, maybe in a little baggie or small bowl and immerse the tips in it. A little hydrogen peroxide/water solution might also work there. Then maybe a toothpick to ream them out?
