What is the recommended care and cleaning for these ear plugs?

Don't know that there is any. I keep my ears pretty clean, so after I use them I just wind them back up and put them back in the case. I would suggest soap and warm water to clean them.

My advice would be to dry them off as best as can before putting them in. This is a passive system with no blowers to dry something off. It is better used for wicking out moisture that may inside the hearing aid not on the outside of the hearing aid. So I do not reccomend putting wet hearing aids in this device to dry them. And I do not think a couple of hours would help do its normal job.

what helped me was making sure to roll the ear plug as compact as possible in a cylindrical shape. Also, you need to make sure to lift the top of your ear lobe as shown in the instructions to ensure a bigger hole to insert the earplug.

Put warm water into a cup and insert the syringe tip into the cup and pull back on the plunger. When the syringe is full, insert syringe into the ear canal and press the plunger to begin cleaning your ear.

I don't understand, is this a question? These ear plugs are awesome, my son had tubes placed months ago and we use these every night at bath time. We never had a problem.

yes the ear plugs are washable in water and mild soap. the ear plugs are great for many more months than 3-4.

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.

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.

the ear plug is not gone, it is a very soft and flexible clear plastic. in the center of the ear "bud" is the little speaker which is a graphite color and on the exterior there is a silver band. these are the most comfortable ear plugs i've ever used. no worries.

In the box you'll get: the IEMS, a soft zippered case, and some regulatory information. In the case, there's a baggy that has 5 sets of tips: a small, medium and large set of silicone rubber tips, and a small and large set of foam "olive" tips. On the earphones themselves there should be the medium olives. You'll alos get a little plastic wand to clean ear wax out of the ear tips. The cable on the IEMS is right around 4 feet, with a cable cinch at the y split. The wire that hooks around the ears is bendable to mold to your ear. Do take care not to bend this wire too hard, as it can snap. In the box you'll get: the IEMS, a soft zippered case, and some regulatory information.

i would sterilize them. i boiled water and then i let the instruments sit in the water for a minute. i also dipped each of them in rubbing alcohol. this is not an official recommendation, i am not a professional, but this is what i did.

I use them at night and simply shower (and wash my ears) in the morning...it does smell a little unpleasant - it's the garlic! - so I try to wipe ear with toilet paper or tissue throughout the day as the oil seems to drain a little. As long as they work and are totally natural I don't mind. I just wouldn't use them right before a date or important business meeting : )

I would recommend rinsing them out if possiblebut they are wide enough that a bottle scrub brush cleans it pretty easily. I also keep my smaller Dr. Browns wire cleaner apparatus handy to detail the nozzle and lid. I love these packets!!!

Roberta...I've been using them for years; they are the best and very reasonable. I pull down on the earlobe with one hand, after squeezing one and then inserting it with the other hand. I hold the earlobe for 10 seconds to let the earplug expand. I then do the same thing with the other ear. Do not insert them too far in. However, they must be in far enough to work; you'll know as sound becomes greatly diminished.

it may be the size or shape of your ear, but you can try rinsing them with a mild soap with warm water and that should help. Be sure they are fairly snug in your ear canal: to the point where you can just about grab them with your fingernails.

That is not normal. My aluminum is uniform and clean. You won't regret the sound on these, so if you can get them to replace, I'd stick with them.
