Quick and Easy Tips for In-Ear Monitor Cleaning:
Step 1:
Clean the outside of ear bud using a link free cloth a safe cleaner (check with what your brand manufacturer recommends). I use a 1:1 solution of isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar
Step 2:
Use a simple IEM cleaning tool to remove some of the outer wax from the holes. I dip this tool/loop in a bit of the cleaning solution to loosen up the hard wax.
Step 3:
Use a in ear vacuum like the Jodi Consumer Hearing Aid Vacuum Cleaner. Be careful to not insert the probe too far into the holes. You don't want to push the wax deeper. Take your time here. (grab your JodiVac here amzn.to/2Cek2xK)
