my dad's a doc and always dissuaded us from using Q-Tips in the ear, for cleaning purposes, so I understand taking precautions.
The problem with IEMs, is that they work best when sealed in the ear canal proper. What happens is that people play music loudly and this creates a pressure wave, which has no where to go, or vent, so the pressure wave impinges on and bombards the ear drum. To compensate, the ear muscles tighten around the drum, causing a perceived loss of sound/volume, which then results in the listener bumping up the volume, which then causes more permanent damage.
I forget the company's name, but they created a 'device' that actually acts as a second 'ear drum' and protects the biologic drum from being injured.
Anyhow...I've got 20 guns here, 30# of smokeless powder and 23,000 primers, so I live with a little bit of risk, but I do take precautions.
