How do you handle these eventually getting blocked up by earwax (like RIC hearing aids)?

Correct...they have a removable earwax guard that you can take out and soak in hydrogen peroxide. Make sure they are completely dry prior to putting them back in.

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.

Use them until you see ear wax or until they are too soft to be moulded. And be sure to inspect them every time you put them in your ears.

They are used to prevent ear wax from blocking the vents in specific hearing aids. Ear wax is collected in the trap which is then discarded and replaced periodically.

The directions tell you to take the batteries out before placing the hearing aid in the unit. Not sure why..!

I have a very similar experience, and also want to know how to position them successfully. They only get full signal to my BTE aids if I position the hooks over the top of my ear (pinna) - very unstable.

Never had a problem unless you use too long. When they start getting sticky, throw them away. Best earplugs we've used and we've been thru many!

No tips for cleaning. They are good for about two months. After dirt and earwax builds up in them, they will never have the same noise cancellation again. I've tried. You will have to change them to another pair that's in the pack. By all means you can still use the old pair but the noise cancellation will not be as good.

Did you take the felt pads out. Pull firmly on the soft ear pads and the magnetic lock will disengage. Take those out on both side and the highs will be more clear. Cheers.

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.

Wrap the cables over your ears like how people wear Shures or customs. Your ears will attenuate a lot of the vibrations that goes into the cable rubbing.

If you use a new pair. I find that when you first put them in, they block EveryThing! But as time wears on, they need to be switched out.

Beat them out with a punch or any tool. Maybe try drilling a hole through the plastic. They are a pain!

Anytime you put your aids in any cleaning and/ or drying device you must take your batteries out if your aids. There is a place on the device to store while going thru its cycle. Its magnetic so very convenient. Highly recommend product. Worth the purchase. On another note since you are new to wearing hearing aids i also recommend when your warranty on your hearing aids expire purchase extenstion if offered or check with ESCO on line for insurance on loss and repairs... good luck

Slide the panel off of the back of the headphone (earcup). Its really simple.

Have not had that situation come up. I guess I would give them over the ear headphones and adjust the volume correctly.

I'm sorry don't like those people. But you could call them and see if they will resolve it, they don't want to hear about the broken ones but if you get one of the nicer people they might help you with the price. I'm through with tv ears I sent the broken ones and they replaced them for $80+. They don't care that they break !
