    Wish there was a factory reset button for the body too, not just your mind. I’m sore out the wazoo.

    You can also pierce your ear drum with that thing (if something hits your elbow at the wrong moment) …about 12 years later and it’s almost as good as it was before it happened 😎😵

      Not possible the way I do it.

      I hold it at the max penatration depth and only when sitting on the toilet after the shower.

      No risk of falling or bumping randomly. If someone comes in I stop and stare at them. Asserting dominance with the cotton swab until they leave.

      Let me complete my forbidden itch in peace.

    Shit. Do factory settings have this chronic neck pain and ADHD? BRB going to reset a few times.

    You have to insert it in both ears deep and hold there for a minute or two until you hear a beep or vibration (varies according to models ) and i repeat do not and i mean DO NOT try to move your head (or any other parts) until the process is complete .

      Don’t forget do backup important documents before doing so. Do not disconnect the power supply until the reset is complete.

      I work in a manufacturing environment and put in ear plugs every day. Generally this is a two handed procedure, where you pull your ear back to get a good angle to correctly insert the plug, but after doing it multiple times a day, ever day, for years, you get pretty good at double fisting your own ear canals.

      Every once in a while, you hit the angle and risk resetting yourself to factory settings.

      The real risk is losing the fucking thing up there, and it really feels like you might for a second.

          The ones with strings don’t have the same NRR rating as the foam ones and for prolonged wear can be quite uncomfortable. The only guys I see wearing those are in the shop or in an office most of the day and only wear them for a few minutes at a time.

    I used to swab my ears. Stopped doing it ten years ago, and I stopped having issues with my ears. It’s almost like we are not supposed to put things there.

      I’ve been doing it for 20+ years and haven’t had any issues yet. I know they aren’t supposed to be used in the ear but it’s worked out this long.
