How do I avoid Ear Canal Sweating with AirPods on?
I think this is what's happening, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.
Full disclosure: I do sweat a decent amount. Do ear canals sweat? Anyway, here are the series of events:
- Place AirPods in ears and play inspirational music
- Start running
- Debate life choices (internal monologue)
- Start sweating
- One or both of the AirPods starts to get quieter (sometimes I think I can hear/feel moisture in my ear canal)
- Sound gets completely muffled in a water-entering-ear-while-swimming kind of way
- Take headphone(s) out, hearing is fine (no actual fluid in ears)
- Place headphone(s) back in, still muffled
I have tried to blow into the hole in the AirPod thinking a drip of sweat got in there, but it doesn't make a difference. There doesn't seem to be a quick/easy remedy. I usually just toss them off to the side and finish my run sans tunes. Usually by the time I go to use them later on or the next day, they are working fine.
Anyone else? If so, what's actually going on? Is there a way to fix it while continuing to run? I do not enjoy running long distances with only my thoughts and heavy breathing to keep me moving...
