A lot of these people will end up with hearing loss as previous generations have.
If you use any in ear devices you'll need to clean them thoroughly every time, otherwise there is a hygiene issue. They can cause infections and press ear wax further into the canal which is what will give you hearing problems for sure.
- walterbell 10mo agoHydrogen peroxide?
- nephihaha 10mo agoA good steriliser for sure but I doubt most people will use it. I probably should have done.
- walterbell 10mo agoUsed in some ear drops, as it also breaks down ear wax.
- wolvoleo 10mo agoI've used in-ears since they came on the market what 30 years ago and I've never sterilised them :) I just rub the wax off. Also dropped them on the street and reinserted them many times. I do have some hearing loss but it was from being a live audio technician for a while when I was young. These days I don't go partying without my loops (which are also in-ear but for protection) And my ears are pretty clean of wax, I have one of those Chinese camera sticks so I can check them myself. Sometimes I scrape some wax out but it's usually not needed. Anyway n=1 but not everyone is sensitive there.
