IEM cleaning

[SkyhighRocks]

Hey guys!

Was wondering what those of you use to clean your IEMs with? I've always used the small tool that was included with my Alien Ears customs but it seems that some ear wax has slid further down into the canal that the tool won't reach and I think it's blocking some sound from getting through. Are there any small tools that can be used that suction or vacuum small spaces like that?

Canned air may be able to jar it loose enough to tip it upside and let it fall out... or it may blow it in deeper than ever. Might be worth a gamble. You may also be able to use a 10cc syringe to suck some of it out or maybe a desoldering tool you can find at Radioshack.

I'll probably give the air a try...thanks!
