Before we get into the main topic we at Sound Lab want to say Happy Veteran's Day and say thanks to all of servicemen and servicewomen for their dedication to our country!

Matej Isak over at Mono and Stereo wrote a very interesting article we thought we would share.  

Matej recommends the use of a product called Audispray which I was able to find on Amazon for a resaonable price.  The basic premise is that this product keeps up ear wax build up to a minimum in a safe fashion.  

A small excerpt:

"With Audipray Adult you just gently spray once in each ear, massage it for 3-5 seconds and clean/dry it out with towel. If its needed, dry out again after two minutes. 

Avoid the usage of cotton sticks! They are not only dangerous and can seriously damage the ear drum, but instead of clearing the wax, they usually just push the wax towards the ear drum when its rather get accumulated then cleared out."
