Is this is an appropriate unit to use for sterilizing ear buds?

I would think not it tends to eat rubber as it sterilizes with ozone gas I think but itll eat the rubber grommits off my tattoo guns so I don't put them in there I just ordered 1000 of them and replace the rubber each time I would think metal only

I would call manufacturer to be sure. This does not have an automatic shutoff either.

Maybe, the nozzle and cup could go in a sterilizer. I just used hot water and antibacterial soap. You could wipe it with some rubbing alcohol.

I don't know. After only a few hours of use, one of the buds stopped working, so I pitched them. I don't intend to try this brand again.

I use the small winder for those, and it's worked so far. Sometimes they get caught, and it looks like the inline volume part has the cord bent pretty sharply away from it at times, but so far it's just been an idle worry and hasn't caused any functional problems. If my earbuds stop working from being wound too right this way, I'll definitely post about it here!

No. You would use one of these to clean whatever before you steam sterilize.

I do not know much about The Ponto Bone Hearing System, however, if it connected anywhere near the ear or the hair and there is a chance of moisture developing, then yes I would recommend the dry store Zephry Hearing dryer. This system has never once caused any damage to my current hearing instruments. It is safe and protects my hearing aids from moisture. As we know, moisture is not a fan for hearing aids or other devices. Protect your costly investment and buy one.

The ear buds are very problematic, if not insurmountably so. I suggest that a patient adult will manage fine, but would never go there for a child.

I would say no. It's not very strong and it broke before I could use it. Come to find it's really only good on the ear lobe. You have to be able to push it through, same is you just used a needle.

Yes, within reason. Using anything inside your ear causes contamination. If you have (say) a yeast infection in your left ear and you use that ear-plug in your right ear, you could spread that infection from your left to your right ear.

The attachments are nowhere near as long as the ones the doctors use. I have 5 children and have not hurt any of them while using this. It is an awesome tool to have for identifying ear infections and for general cleaning.

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.

The two curettes that included are the ring and scoop with the latter is smaller that may work. However, ear cleaning should only be done by professional. Use the otoscope to detect problem.

Physically no problem. Would it be sanitary? Questionable. One could easily clean the silicone mouthpiece, but the device itself would be harder to sanitize

I have only owned mine a short while. The clip does come apart, but not because of real breakage. Rather, I think it aids in sanitizing them. The ear clip easily reattaches to the stem and STAYS PUT. I've had no problems and the clips are gentle on the backs of my ears! I love these!

No it works fine each time I use it but I allow several minutes before rinsing it out with a pointed rubber bulb filled with warm water. Give it time to work and when the ear is rinsed out large clumps of ear wax will come out as I hold my head over the sink ans squish the rubber bulb. I have extreme hearing loss through the years and my audiologist proclaims how clean my ears are when I go to see her every few months at the VA clinic. Caution, you should allow your ears to go a month between each ear cleaning because ear wax is a necessary thing to a point to avoid ear infection.

Hmmm hard to say. It provides good suction in short bursts. I would talk to your doctor before using it for your ears

Absolutely; however, just to be safe, I would suggest sterilizing before using and be careful.
