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.

I have only wiped them with a moist cloth and long ago I have washed them with just water little to no soap. Your best bet is to replace them. My experience is that the memory foam characteristic diminishes well before needing to clean the foam tips. I use q-tips/cotton swabs in my ears daily so it's rare that I see earwax on my foam tips. I imagine that if you are against using q-tips or if your ears produce lots of earwax, you may be inclined to clean the foam tips more.

i have not experienced this problem. i use the latex attachments that came with the headphones provided and do not have any water in my ears.

the ear pad itself should pull off. if it is old it may be a little harder if the rubber has gotten dry over time. the inner foam has a gasket that needs to be removed before replacing it. the gasket can be removed with a small screwdriver. if you are still unsure there are videos available online that show the process.

If the canal or tube of your earphone is dirty use the wax tool provided to remove debris. If you have no tool a paper clip will do, just be metered on how far you go down the earphone making sure that you don't damage your earphone driver. Note: If earphone sleeve is totally saturated with debris, purchase new sleeves for earphones seeing that there are not too expensive. If dirt is on the connection between cable and earphone, I would recommend sending it back to Shure see that it doesn't take much to damage that connection. Shure has good customer service and you earphones will be fixed or replaced. If the canal or tube of your earphone is dirty use the wax tool provided to remove debris.

I only used "TV Ears" for about 1 year before getting regular hearing aids (which in my case work better). I had no problem with the foam rubber tips falling off. I made myself a couple of little covers (kind of like miniature pillow cases) out of very soft cloth and covered the tips with my covers while using the "TV Ears". That way the tips would not get dirty (replacements would have been expensive). When my covers got dirty I merely hand washed them and dried them and they were good to go for awhile. I don't know if my little covers helped keep the tips on but I had no problems except ongoing discomfort due to the weight of the TV Ears hanging from my ears which took some time to get accustomed to.

Dear Al, thanks for your inquiry, and yes we do pride ourselves as having one of the highest dB rating for high fidelity earplugs. As for the removing them, what we would suggest is try not inserting the earplugs too deep into the ear canal and see if the isolation is still equally good, as inserting them too deep might make removing them a bit more challenging because of the inconspicuous size. Another option is to attach the cord to it so that the tip extends out further and allows easier removal, however in your case where the cord is not appropriate, you can try cutting away the cord, and leaving just the connector tip on to act as a longer ear tip. Hope that helps! Dear Al, thanks for your inquiry, and yes we do pride ourselves as having one of the highest dB rating for high fidelity earplugs.

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.

Fred - my husband has used this kit several times over the years and had never had a problem. I searched your query to see if others had and there is a thread with many suggestions/solutions for this problem. I don't believe I'n allowed to put links here so just search for "clogged ear after home ear wax removal kit".Hope this helps.

Maybe consider taking the ear buds off completely. Then to keep them in place use the speedo silicone ear plugs. All I can think of.

My husband uses 5 drops nightly in the ear that is bothering him ( stopped up with wax) - for at least 3-5 days. We then wash his ear canal with an ear wax removal syringe found here on Amazon. Here's the link to that product. Health Enterprises Ear Wax Removal Syringe .I hope this helps.

They came with 3 different size silicone buds that you can change out. I think I have relatively normal size ears and the medium and small work really well for me. The silicone is really flexible so you can get a very nice fit. The only issue I have had is that sometimes they fit so well I can't hear anything except what I'm listening to. At work I only wear 1 ear bud in most of the time or else my coworkers scare me to death when they come into my office and I don't notice. I-pod ear buds I have found to be slightly too big and they start to hurt my ears after awhile. I haven't had that issue with this type of ear bud at all and can't imagine using a different kind. My husband uses the large silicone buds and he has slightly odd shaped ears and many other types don't work well for him at all.

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.

Go to the sennheiser web site and look for replacement parts. I think they supply the the parts your seeking with the mess covers for the earbuds.

Not sure what model your talking about ? But these earbuds work with all my buds,and I have about 20 in different styles and brands ! Even use for my hearing aid ! what I like about these is the inner rubber that holds them on more tightly, and helps prevent wax build up on speaker ,highly recommend these !

What I do is actually superglue the buds to the earphone. Before swimming, I moisten the outside of the buds with water before putting them in. The secret is to rapidly jiggle the buds in. That creates the watertight seal. Since I started doing that I haven't had much trouble. It is tricky to get the knack of it. You have to secure the buds to the earphones though, otherwise you will find they pop off and are tricky and scary to retrieve!
