Locate the serial number on the underside of the AirPods case lid–true for all AirPods models. Another option to see your AirPods’ serial number is to follow these steps on your iPhone: Keep in mind that this is not a recommended treatment. Ear candling has been used in the past in place of ear irrigation. With this technique, someone inserts a hollow, lit candle into the ear canal. Theoretically, the heat from the flame will create a vacuum seal, causing the earwax to adhere to the candle. It’s not effective, and can result in further injuries, including ear canal obstructions and eardrum perforations. A burn injury is a potential risk as well. For mild earwax buildup, a removal kit with softening drops is often the best bet. The drops work by softening the hardened wax in the ear canal so the wax can then work its way out of the ear on its own.

If you see wax on your earbuds or wireless headphones, then you might have buildup. Simply seeing it doesn’t necessarily mean you have buildup, however. “People are now coming in with pictures of their ear canal that they’ve taken on their smartphones, ‘proving’ their wax,” Dr. Chandrasekhar says. “Unfortunately for them, the ear canal is not straight and they have often just taken a picture of the wall of the canal, which may have a little wax on it — but the lumen, or opening, of the canal is just fine.” If you try one of our recommended cleaning kits, you’ll be able to tell right away if there’s buildup, since there will either be wax that leaves your ear, or there won’t be. Warm water flush: A gentle flush with warm water during a shower can help remove excess earwax. Using a bulb syringe is another option to flush the ear. If they are still under warranty, and you need to replace one of the AirPods, then you should be able to do so for a small accidental damage fee. Use: To use an irrigation system, sit or stand upright. Gently pull upward on your ear and insert the syringe or tube into your ear. Squeeze or push on the container to release the water into your ear canal, tip your head to the side to enable the water to drain, and then blot the area dry. For the most effective cleaning results, you might need to repeat the process. You can also boost your results by using wax softening drops a half hour to an hour before using the irrigating kit.There are several alternative remedies that can be used for ear irrigation. Don’t try them if you have any of the risk factors discussed above. Natural oils Those who don’t have time to thoroughly wash the reusable tips (if they aren’t cleaned well, it could make ears even worse) However, for those who experience frequent or uncomfortable earwax build-up, there are some safe methods to help clean your ears at home: Just took them out, plugged in to charge, they started charging immediately, put them in my ears and heard music in both!

If your AirPods are not under warranty, it’s likely cheaper to buy a new set unless you are confident that either the case or one of the AirPods still works. Do NOT plug them in within the first 12 hours after being submerged, as you may mess up the electrics inside the case. Instead, leave them out to dry overnight, after you have removed all of the water. Try silica gel for wet Airpods Never attempt to dig out excessive or hardened earwax with available items, such as a paper clip, a cotton swab or a hairpin. Instead, make it seem fun (and less intimidating) to scrape out gunk with this cute kit, which features animals on the curette handles. These tools work similarly to the plastic loop model, but instead of a loop, there are three solid tip options each designed to scoop out wax. The kit also includes an LED light that allows you to see what you’re doing. You’ll also get silicone tip covers for a softer, more comfortable feel, and all of the tips are reusable after washing; which you should do thoroughly after each use. As always, though, proceed with caution, especially if you’re removing ear wax for another person — and therefore might not know how it feels as you’re working.Sit upright with a towel on the shoulder to capture water that drains from the ear. Some people may also place a basin underneath the ear to catch the water. Earwax kits with an irrigation system are also fairly common. The principle behind this type of kit is simple: you flush the ear with water to help remove excess wax from the ear canal. With the AirPods Pro, Apple has made it possible to sign up for AppleCare+ for these headphones. We would recommend signing up for the protection plan, as it offers replacements for either AirPod or the charging case itself. There is even some support in the event that your AirPods Pro needs a new battery.
