I have a pair of Shure e3 earbuds for use with my Ipod. They're several years old and I must say I haven't used them for about 6 months. I've got them out to take on summer hols with me and unfortunately the left earpiece has gone quiet. seemingly across the whole frequency spectrum. There's no crackling so it doesn't seem like a loose connection. I've ensured the flanges are absolutely clean, and as far as I can tell the "canals/tubes" on the ear pieces themselves are clean too.
I guess one possibility is that some wax could have got into the tube itself and gone hard (yeuk, sorry, hope you're not eating...) but there's nothing visible. Is there any kind of solution I can immerse it in just to be sure? Failing that, any ideas what might be the problem?
