Wax on, wax off

Q: How do you clean IEM sound tunnel/canal? My IEMs always end up with a lot of wax deposited inside the little tube.

A: Many IEMs come with their own cleaning tool. Alternatively, you can DIY your own with some thin wire (make a loop) or use something like a toothpick or safety pin (carefully!). Avoid using chemicals or dipping the IEM in solvents. Debrox (hydrogen peroxide) may be a good choice to clean ear canals, but it's a terrible choice to clean IEM canals, b ecause the peroxide fizzes and gets everywhere.
