Check for the Gunk in your Earphones

There is always a high chance that gunk or ear wax is coming in your way of having an absolute experience of music. But how does the gunk makes its way into this tiny pair of earbuds? Because earphones are the only thing that we do not forget to carry anywhere we go, it’s kind of natural that they pick up all kinds of stuff from the environment after which they become waxy, moist, and sticky. This stuff increases the probability of causing damage, serious skin infections and growing the bacteria in the ears. If there is a wax coat or germ buildup on the earphones, it can act as a layer to trap bacteria and prevent it from drying which can help it to survive and grow. 

Clean the inside of the earphone with any small brush to remove debris

To clean your earphones effectively, ensure that they are disconnected from your phone or laptop before starting to clean them. Ideally, you should clean your earphones once a week to ignore the muffling of sound due to wax buildup. Sometimes it might look gunk free or clean but there might be some serious buildup. Start with pulling the ear tips off the earphones. Use a small brush to gently scoop out the gunk and ear wax. One more thing to ensure while cleaning the earphones is that you do not jam the loop into the tip while it's still in the earphone because you may push the wax into the earphones and damage its drivers. 

Use Lukewarm water and cotton

After you are done brushing, use a cotton swab with warm water to clean the remaining dirt and ear wax from the ear tips and also the rest of the part like its grill and earbuds. The warm water helps you in removing the remaining dirt and sanitize it. While cleaning the earphones with any type of liquid do take care that you don’t oversaturate the swab into the liquid because it may get into the battery compartment or earbuds and damage the drivers. 

Let the ear tips air dry

The last important thing to keep in mind, once you are done with all the processors to clean them, don’t forget to dry them before putting them back on the earphones. It is a really simple process to stay away from any kind of bacteria causing and damaging the ear. It is extremely important that you thoroughly dry them inside and out to see the truest & effective effects. For better results, ensure that there is no moisture before you put together the pieces of your earphone and use them again.
