I have the correct tool for cleaning my IEM's, which I use regularly but last week I noticed the bass not being there on one of them. A bright light and magnifier shows what looks to be a bit of wax right at the bottom of one tube in the monitors. I'm guessing the option is either something to poke down there, which isn't the best idea or I wondered if I could use something like 100% isopropyl alcohol to soak it out. IPA is generally safe on electrical stuff for cleaning (we used to use it when I worked offshore to clean stuff that has got saltwater inside it) but i'm not sure if it'll damage the driver in an IEM. Monitors are by Hearyourself.com (now alienears.com) and I've had them for a couple of years.
Is this a reasonable option, is there anything else or should I send them back to the manufacturers. This last option is bound to be expensive so I'm reluctant unless absolutely necessary.
thanks for your help.
