IEM discussion thread (Part 2)

Thank you for that :call_me_hand:

I’d like to think I have a different style, but being compared to a professional product photog is a great way to start my morning! Thanks, boys

Something completely different, but very useful, in this community.

The HD camera is very good, and even though I clean my ears regularly, I was shocked at how much earwax this device can detect and then “target” remove.

There’s no question that it can even improve hearing somewhat.

In my opinion, a device like this is highly recommended, and it doesn’t cost a fortune.

Especially since you can use this device not only for ears, but also to take well-lit interior photos of electronic devices and headphones in order to find errors and repair or clean them if necessary.

Totally agree buddy I use one of these, it works perfectly too and it was cheaper than this price :+1:

FWIW, The Wirecutter warns against using these little camera tools in your ears: The Viral TikTok Ear Camera Shouldn't Clean Your Ears (But We Did Find a Less-Icky Use For It). | Reviews by Wirecutter

I think you always need to be careful…a awhile back we had someone advocate using a syringe full of warm salt water to clean your ear canals, like syringes don’t stick then a bit of extra force and boom there goes your eardrum :man_shrugging:

It’s also worth remembering that our ears make wax for a reason and therefore trying to remove every last bit of wax from your ear is a strange thing to do and will not affect your hearing.

Aye best wait a few days after cleaning before allowing water to enter the ear canal, showers/swimming etc that’ll help against infections etc.

I would not stick anything like that in my ear and definitely on my own. I would go see a doctor or nurse and let them do it instead if i had to. I honestly rather have my wax protect my eardrum against other shit…

Or try one of those solutions that make the wax softer so it will naturally fall out easier instead.

Co-signed. I’ll pay the $60 annually to have my ears cleaned by a professional. It’s not advisable to stick any foreign objects deep into your ear canal without training, and a YouTube video doesn’t count as training. :slight_smile:

Yeah I rather stay safe than take that audio boost, which is temporary anyway.

Yes, friends, please don’t stick things in your ears besides IEMs. You’re more likely to do more harm than good. You can also set off a cycle of agitation that leads to excess wax production, motivating more cleaning, leading to more wax, :face_with_spiral_eyes:

It sure is, although that 3k looks painful.

Judging by your graph, would you by any chance be among us who listen loud?:sweat_smile:

I am actually a very low volume listener. 55-65db on my speakers measured with my db meter.

Low volume needs more v-shaped to compensate for the equal loudness curve technically as we perceive MORE bass and treble at higher volumes and in turn, more mids at lower volumes.

I have the same feeling and I also like v-shape because I listen quietly.
