Unfortunately I am getting plenty of water in my ears...Does anyone have a tip on exactly how to put these in ears? Thanks!

I only use them for sleeping. I roll them up into a ball and place them in the outer area, covering the ear canal (not IN the canal), and then just start kind of spreading the silicone around, flattening it, until I can hardly hear anything, including the old cat yelling! I would think for swimming that you'd want a new pair every time, as the level of stickiness would be more important.

I use 1 1/2 pad per ear. Shape to extend slightly into ear and then overlap. good luck.

My thought too - I actually returned a set because I couldn't get to fit and then later tried it again. You have to work it onto the post - but they actually do fit - and very tightly which is what you want. BTW - I love these. I have very small ear canals and have never been able to get ear buds to work. The standard Apple buds are a total waste of money on someone like me. I'm glad that there are companies like Comply that actually think about this stuff.

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! 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.

I did have an issue and it was because I was pushing them in too far. Back off a little and see if it works better.Water does go into the ears but that is normal.Bob

So... I am not sure if everyones ears are different but mine go around my ears. They are a perfect fit around my ears. My only problem is the super long coord :).

Too loud? Just go by the directions and learn the "feel" when adjusting. I had to wear them for a while to get on to it. My large problem? The noise was there all the time but I couldn't hear it before.

I use a little lotion around the ear canal to get my earbuds to slide in. It might help you so that you won't have to squeeze it.

Hi John, These didn't work at all. Would not stay in. I have small ears, and figured cut them. Still no luck. Plus, I could still hear the T.V., and it was on a very low volume. NG for me.

When I got mine, the buds that were on it fit well for me! They supplied with my ear buds a good selection of them ! Every set of ear buds that i have had were smaller and after time came loose! What I do to secure them better is moisten the buds and put my thumb on the rubber part on the casing that indicates right or left and wiggle them so they seat well! Movement of your head and the cord catching on something can cause the problem to I still have to adjust them here and there! I really don't think about it much! I just enjoy them . I hope this helps!!

Hi you put 1/4 peroxide in the bottle and fill the rest with warm water. You insert the small clear tube into ear Insert it into ear slowly until the stopper is flush against ear. Have the person tilt his/ her head towards the shoulder area and place some type of catch basin under earlobe, as water will be trickling out. Squeeze trigger slowly and adjust as you get the flow of water going. Keep squeezing until the wax begins to come out. I also use 1/2 bottle in one ear and the other half in the opposite ear. At first it may take several times in each ear. It does work. I hope this was helpful! Hi you put 1/4 peroxide in the bottle and fill the rest with warm water.

Sounds like your speakers are blown out. How old are your ear buds? I know that they are sport and somewhat water proof but were they exposed to to much water? The other thing is if you had too much volume in the bud that May have blown out the speaker. I would just get a hold of Bose and see if they will replace.

I'm afraid there seems to be no simple answer. I read all the warnings about large ones and got standard: they were way too small. Maybe my ears are bit big (I'm an adult man) or maybe standard is really small (as they used to label it). I suppose one unsatisfying answer is that they're cheap for what you get: try one of each and give away (after cleaning) the one that doesn't fit.

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.

Quite frankly, they work really well for me, but as my ex who was a nurse told me, you are asian, and you have really large ear channels... there fore they fit, people with smaller ear channels have a more difficult time getting them to fit comfortably... I would chop the larger flange off, to get them deeper into my ear... They do really well as noise blocking ear plugs.

Dear Craig: I have been using Flents for years and years and believe me, I have tried them ALL! In my opinon, there really is nothing BETTER!!! If used properly....ie. rolling it so that it can fit perfectly in your ear.....it is perfection! Unfortunately, lots of stores do not carry it (and I live in San Francisco). Thus, Amazon.com has saved the day!!! BTW, everyone I have introduced this product to has said the same thing!!! Good luck and may it work wonders for you, Craig!!!

You have to roll them in the palm of your hand to soften them - then push the round ball into the ear as best you can firmly. Sometimes you can't stop some air from coming in. It still works better than anything else out there.
