I, like so many others, am having severe issues with my ears after wearing my Buds Pro. I awoke this morning at 3:30 with very wet ears. They also are very itchy.

This is the second time this has happened. The first time I had the same symptoms. But, after my ears began to heal, the flaking and extreme itching began. I noticed it began not long after wearing them. I discontinued use.

Last night, I wanted to try again. I wiped down the silicone tips with alcohol. I wore them for roughly 10 minutes and here we are. Wide awake on a work day with awful symptoms.

I own multiple Samsung devices. My televisions (2), 4K UHD Bluray, sound bar and surround sound, phones, tablets and I just bought the Galaxy Book Go. I love that I can connect everything. Needless to say, I am disappointed in the Buds.

What can be done to make this right? Thank you.

I didn't notice off the bat but after over time use I started developing the rash and felt liquid oozing out of my ears.

Sounds like your earbuds are giving you Swimmer's Ear. You are going to have to change the type to one that doesn't plug the ear.

How long have you had those and where did you buy them honestly you'd have to go back to the retailer you purchased them from and it would be up to there return period also probably there may be latex in them possibly I don't know do you have a latex allergy

I've had them for maybe a month now. My first pair was fine and caused no irritation, but accidentally flushed those down the toilet, so I bought another pair and started having the ear issues.

I was reading that they changed the production from the previous ones and are now made with nickel in it and people are having the allergic reaction to the nickel.
