My Sennheiser IE600's survived the washing machine for 20 minutes (alien.top)

I was completely hopeless, thinking this it. Lo & behold, the sound was miraculously completely normal, as if it had never been near any water to begin with. However, I am still very worried about internal corrosion that could bite my ass in the future. Is there anything I should be particularly attentive to?

If there is corrosion you need to get rid of it as soon as possible, or it will ruin them. But with the way most iems are designed dont know how you would do that without damaging them.

I have no idea if there is any corrosion. It definitely hasn't developed yet, as the accident just occurred today. I am not technically equipped to get rid of it either, so if it develops, then that's gg. I made sure to dry it out as thoroughly as possible, so I'm hoping it'll be fine. I am just still surprised, that there's nothing wrong with the audio, though. It is as if it was never thrown in the washer to begin with.
