If you experience wax buildup, discontinue use until a medical
professional has examined your ears.
• Failure to use, clean, or maintain earphone sleeves and nozzles
according to manufacturer’s instructions may increase the risk

your ear.
• Prior to inserting the earphone, always recheck the sleeve to
make sure it is firmly attached to the nozzle.
• If a sleeve becomes lodged in your ear, seek skilled medical
assistance to remove the sleeve. Damage to the ear may be
