Caren, ear wax is thick, sticky stuff and is not water soluble. This means it will not dilute in water. Therefore, to effectively remove wax from our ears, the wax must first be diluted using a chemical solvent just like we dilute oil based paint with paint thinner. The most common chemical solvent used to remove ear wax is hydrogen peroxide. It works fine except that it is an astringent and tends to dry out the ear canal. This can make the canal itchy. Debrox is gentler. To effectively remove ear wax, you must use the solvent (debrox or peroxide) and water in the proper order and manner. Here's how: Tilt your head to the side and let the solvent (we'll presume deborx here) drip into your ear. 10 drops is usually enough. Remain in that position and let the drops stay in your ear for at least 10 minutes. This gives the solvent time to dilute the ear wax. When time is up, move to the bathroom sink. Run the water at a warm temperature. Squeeze the ball and place it under the flow. Release and allow the rubber ball to suck in the water. Repeat this until the ball is full. Next, place the narrow tip of the ball at the entrance of your ear canal and squeeze hard allowing the water to reach back to the ear drum. Repeat this process several times in order to get all the wax out. If you ear is impacted, large pieces of wax will be discharged by this process. So keep an eye on the sink to see what comes out. I've removed nickel sized pieces of wax from my ears using this technique. Continue in this way until all wax is removed. Ear wax can be a terrible pain but with this process you'll be able to effectively remove it whenever the build up starts causing problems. Good luck.

You fill it with warm water. Put it in your ear canal. Not too far but not just on the outside either. Squeeze that water out as hard as you can. It may take a couple of times but if you let the solution set for 10-15 minutes combined with the warm water the ear wax WILL come out.

You put warm water in the bulb, and gently rinse any wax out of your ears after using the Debrox liquid. Make sure water is about body temperature.

for me, it took about 10 minutes of steady flushing, make sure you lean your ear downwards in the sink while you flush. if you are patient it will work!

Pull down the cover and remove a mounting spring. Then unscrew the screw holding on the light cover. The bulbs are then accessible. The bulbs unscrew with a half-twist. Make sure you get the right kind of bulb. Its base is different from most.

Warm water and dish detergent like dawn. I usually let mine soak for a bit. Be sure and let them dry out really well before putting them back in your ears.

Just rotate the ear gel to the position which suits you best. I removed the ear hook since it makes more difficult to wear and painful on the ear for the long period of use.

The bulb is held in a bracket that is accessed from the back. Simply turn the bracket 1/4 turn and pull it out the back. the bulb will be in the bracket.

The outside panel on one of the ear cups is also a control. You tap it up/down to control the volume. I think there is a deep blue light on that side. Hope this helps.

Just put an AAA bat into one of the earpieces, and slide the switch to on. Red led let's you know bat is OK.

You should not have to remove that ear canal piece. I have two pair of over the ear type aids; one waterproof for sports and another that is not. I keep one pair in the dryer when not being used; both pair overnight. Plenty of room in the unit. I've used this unit for a couple of months now. I bought 3 desiccant bricks last week for under $10 on ebay; good for another six months.

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

the simplest method for me... I put the plastic string on the bottom for each ear. I insert the one that matches the ear canal best. I cannot tell the color with the foamies on. When they are in the ear you then move the small lever up to increase the volume for both ears. Down decreased the volume. As you hold the earpiece in the hand the small end going into each ear curves forward. I don't imagine trying to place them in either ear the wrong way. When I remove the earpieces... I open the compartment all the way and carefully place them back in the back so as not to close the battery compartment. Not to worry about the battery falling out. Carry spares in the event you accidently close the compartment. the simplest method for me... I put the plastic string on the bottom for each ear. I insert the one that matches the ear canal best.

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.

There is one very small button on the bottom of the left side of the frame that goes over the ear. Press it once. And make sure you have good batteries.

Roberta...I've been using them for years; they are the best and very reasonable. I pull down on the earlobe with one hand, after squeezing one and then inserting it with the other hand. I hold the earlobe for 10 seconds to let the earplug expand. I then do the same thing with the other ear. Do not insert them too far in. However, they must be in far enough to work; you'll know as sound becomes greatly diminished.

You have to have the newer ear buds with the little nob at the rearof the ear bud

In order to use this, you need a 9V battery. Put in the battery, plug in the audio plug into your audio jack. From there you will need to drop one of the small mini ear pieces into your ear drum. Thats it! From there the audio should be playing from the mini ear piece. If you need to take it out, the magnet (the larger metal piece) can be used to take it out of your ear drum. Hope this helps!

I don't think you can. However, I wouldn't do, I would not like to get shocked/electrocuted, fall off the latter, wake up in the hospital and find out the bulb burned out. Hope this helps.
