I lightly wet a toothbrush (with firm bristles), shook it off, dabbed it on a piece of toweling, then used it to scrub the ear hole of the phone. Use some common sense to determine what is too much water that it will go beyond the mesh of the earpiece. If you don’t do it with care, you could use too much and void your warranty. I suspect I had a drop of coffee with sugar that although wiped off a small amount remained and created the noise barrier. A q-tip was worthless. Thinking maybe high content rubbing alcohol would be a better choice, but same process.
