Thanks D. Riley. I was going to swab with alcohol, but I think I'll follow your suggestion instead. Thanks again!!!!Sassy

Just wash them in warm water. You can use a little soft-soap if you like, but don't use any harsh solvents or cleaners.

warm soapy water works pretty good for me, I don't know that I would use alcohol on them, might shorten the life of them! edit: as stated by another person, not much soap is needed. Also, I clean my ears with q-tips daily also, but my ears produce massive amounts of wax for some reason, and I also work long days and keep my earbuds in for 6-12hrs a day. I haven't noticed any degradation in quality of noise cancellation, and have washed my tips at least a couple times already... I'm sure at some point that would be an issue, but I just wash them gently then roll them in a towel lightly squishing them as I roll them so as to help dry them out as quickly as possible... anyways, enjoy!

Just search on Amazon for them. Search by Sennheiser PX 100 II replacement pads. It's that simple.

I don't know. I have new hearing aids that take a different wax trap.P.G. White

You should not have to remove that ear canal piece. I have two pair of over the ear type aids; one waterproof for sports and another that is not. I keep one pair in the dryer when not being used; both pair overnight. Plenty of room in the unit. I've used this unit for a couple of months now. I bought 3 desiccant bricks last week for under $10 on ebay; good for another six months.

I suggest you use the cone shaped ear piece, but be careful don't push it far inside your ear for good music or it will get stuck inside (it happened to me). If you are using normal round ear buds try to put some petroleum jelly as a sealant because when little drop of water get inside it is quite annoying.

I'm happy to answer questions about this product when I can - maybe Amazon can credit me some sort of "kudos" for my efforts. About your question: carefully clean the metal resonator per the manual.

Sometimes even just a small amount of earwax can get in an block the speaker hole. I haven't figured out the best way to clean it out. Last time I dipped the silent earbud carefully into the highest concentration rubbing alcohol I could find, so that the hole that lets the sound out (after you've taken off the silicon tip) was immersed, but no further, so as not to let the liquid touch something electronic. It soaked overnight and I took it out to dry for a while, and the sound was back to normal. Though that worked for me, I don't recommend it unless you're willing to risk destroying the unit.

You don't have to clean it. Just get an bulb from an ear cleaning kit. Turn unit off and squirt vigorously 10-20 bulbs of water into the hole where the stream comes out. Should work like new.

The filter prevents ear wax from reaching the inner workings of the earpieces. They WILL get clogged eventually and muffle the sound. I just change them when the sound starts to degrade.

The two curettes that included are the ring and scoop with the latter is smaller that may work. However, ear cleaning should only be done by professional. Use the otoscope to detect problem.

I know, I don't like the foam ones either. But there is another alternative I found and been using and far more comfortable! They are the TV Ears Rubber Silicone Extra/Replacement Ear Tips. They're really good though you fork out cash more but it's worth your comfort. Hope this helps.

Remove the old TV Ears tips entirely. The new silicone tips just snap in place of the old ones. They feel a little different on your ears but they are actually more comfortable.

I have the same problem and changed to the little sleeve and don't use the dome....works great! Excellent product you will discover. You should also purchase a dryer which increases your warranty and does sanitize your hearing apparatus.

No there is not. I am not absolutely sure, but I looked for a while. After heavy use my left earbud stopped working and I sent them in to get it fixed. They sent back a brand new box with a new set of rings, so right now I am good to go. Be careful when you pull them out of a pocket or bag. That is when I lose most of mine.

It's my understanding from my audiologist that this is to lubricate the inner ear. You might want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what to use to soften or remove ear wax. Geed the warning about not sticking Q-tips in your ears.

I almost bought the wax vac but, I only found bad reviews about it. The ear wax syringe worked for me.
