Note to self - it's not always the techie solution that's needed

So, when your perennial issue of one earbud is so much quieter than the other comes up and you're messing with the balance on your phone (but resetting it for any other device) and Googling how to reset your Tozo T6 earbuds because you always forget, and you just try it five times to be sure and it still doesn't work....

It's the ear wax and dust, stupid. Now I've never been able to get the mesh cover off with tweezers like some geniuses out there, but I've soaked the mesh in alcohol (not the earbud, just a bit of alcohol off a pad), blown through the mesh pretty strongly when dry, knocked it a couple of times, and used a tiny brush, and it's all better. I wish I could get the mesh off, because I suspect it's icky back there, but there you go.

One suggested way of dealing with it is to suck it and get the crap out that way. It was useful, worked, and utterly something a guy would try. I was almost there, but mine worked, and I didn't have to spit out or swallow nasty stuff from my ear.

Anyway, I am posting this in case I remember to search my blog for this next time, it comes up on a Google search, since it's public, or if it helps someone else.
