Water stuck in ear: Am I doing something wrong?
1507507
Jennifer - I just got mine. After the first squirt I felt like I had water stuck in my ear. After the 9th try, I still felt like I had water stuck, but some small flakes of wax came out. After the 12th squirt a large piece of wax came out and the feeling that I had water in my ear was gone. It took me 30-40 squirts in my worse ear to completely clean out the gunk. Hope this helps!

Make sure you have the microphone pushed in all the way. It's a water resistant connection, so the fit is pretty tight and sometimes it just needs pushed in the last few mm. If that doesn't work, try resetting the unit.

I'm having the same problem - closing off my ear canal. Did you find a solution or different product that stay put but don't have the same issue?

Most of the time I rock it back and forth and will come off. If not I'll gurgle with warm water. As warm as you can handle. Hope it helps you. ;-)

Reseat the bin containing the water. You probably didn't push hard enough or align it properly. After a couple of times you'll get used to it!

It sounds like you have a defective bottle. It should easily squeeze out of the bottle.

Hi! I make sure its hooked around my ear securely and the bud just seems to fall into place when I do that. I have to push it in a little though. I have pretty small ears, so it may be related to different ear shapes or sizes :)

At the top where the water expulsion ports are, there is a plastic divider that moves back and forth, it can get stuck by leaves or debris. Move it back and forth with your finger a couple times and it will usually work fine after that...

Tilt the ear being rinsed, down. The water (use warm water) will spray up into the ear and run down and out. If it feels like there is still water in there, tilt your head at a slightly different angle and the water will run out. If not, another squirt with the syringe and head at a slightly different angle should do it. Usually takes me one, on occasion two, times to clean and get the water out of my ears.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. It happened to me too. even if you used the correct amount of water recommended. I don't bother using mine anymore.

Sadly, this is a common issue. Myself and others have purchased a blue tooth to ensure the other party can hear. When you use a Bluetooth that problem is solved. Sadly, the barriers that are supposed to prevent water from entering seem to prevent people from hearing each other as well. Deems the phone useless for most! Good Luck.

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!

Not as much water gets in and the frequency of water getting in the ears is definitely less than not wearing the cap at all; however water still gets in the ears and I have to empty my ears ever so often. I don't think there's a full proof way of avoiding water in the ears once you're in the pool or any water for that matter. You may have to teach him to jump on one foot while leaning his head to one side (the side he leans on would be the side that the ears are filled with water) to get rid of the water in his ears after a swim.

I purchased after having used it in the doctor's office. It is medical equipment in essence, so that is why I suspect there are no instructions. I use a 1 to 3 ratio of hydrogen peroxide to water -- a little warmer than room temperature. You have to screw the flexible tip with guard on the end of the device. After that just direct with care into the ear canal and fire away. I don't use the capture dish. I just stand over the sink and let the fluid drain out. As you irrigate the ear, you need to redirect the tip to make sure the whole ear canal is cleared. Sometimes, it seems nothing is happening and then a slightly different angle gets the material cleared out. The hydrogen peroxide bubbles for a while in your ear afterward.

In the water, I wear a swin cap and I wear the headphones upside down. With that combination I havent had the issue of them falling out.

I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended.. It's not gonna seal ur ears completely.. Nothing's perfect. Just put them away and they dry themselves and ready to go again! Personally, I think it's a good pair of ear pieces for swimming out there.. Tried H2o, works great but feel very cheap and the sound quality is a major different! 1 tip, You need to find the perfect ear pieces and hooks for urself to have a good fit(the hooks breaks easily so be careful) I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended..

This happen to me. You need to be sure you have enough Vaseline on your earbuds and 'feel' when they are sealed in the ear. This makes all the difference in good reception. Be sure your shuffle is on before hand, and I run the cord under my goggles at each ear. Something else you need to check periodically is to be sure you have no earwax in your ears and clean your earbuds after, say five swims. I had to go to the next smaller earbud.
