What causes wax buildup? I've never had a problem as far as I know, pretty sure my hearing loss is Metallica induced.

Different reasons.. Some people are just waxier than others..

I get Alot of wax build up but I also wear hearing aids 14 hours of the day..

But heaps of other sh*t than wax can get in your ears to make the wax build up worse, such as small bugs etc..

I had some rather high end in ear monitors (custom moulded in ear headphones) that sounded absolutely amazing, had them for a year or two and wore them all the time with no problems, other than regularly cleaning out wax with the little brush and picker thing provided.

Then out of nowhere it started to hurt pulling them in and out (not sure if gaining weight would change the shape of my ear canal much?) and boom, ear infection. Antibiotics and all better, then a week later started hurting again...2nd ear infection. Had a repeat script this time, so two courses of antibiotics and didn't use my headphones for a month. Cleaned the ear pieces with alcohol wipes and after a few days BOOM ear infection number 3. 2 courses of antibiotics to clear it up but now I get dry wax building up and stuff, in my right ear particularly...which I never used to get.

It sucks coz I haven't used my custom IEM's for months now but I'm too scared to in case I get another infection...sucks!

Dan there are electronic cleaning, cans of alcohol that you get and you spray this stuff on computer boards while they are on. It cleans the board pretty well and literally dries up on its on. Maybe jaycar has the stuff. I have no idea what it is called, but I know the stuff exists. Maybe the earphones needs some of the stuff.

In this day and age it's a fair and accepted expectation to keep your down stairs trimmed and tidy.

But honestly I have NFI.

When you go through drive through and order food you go to the window to collect it and they repeat what you ordered and you trust that it's all in the bag you get home and it's not what you ordered grrrrrr
