Got my first pair of CIEMs (UM miracle) a few days ago and they sound glorious. I do have seal issues though, mostly with the right ear. This is my first pair so I have no idea if I am being picky and it's normal or if I actually have an issue.
When I walk there seems to be a... Don't know how to explain it, wax squishing sound. That I can live with and actually when my head is tilted a bit downwards the noise doesn't really happen.
What I believe to be an issue is when I open my mouth and ugh to fit the tip of my finger or more, the left (mostly) ear makes that wax squishing sound and the seal breaks, not by much as it feels like there's a air pocket that forms... So the seal reforms using another part of the ciem maybe?
Am I being picky or is this not normal? I must add that the audiologist did not have biting blocks so I used 2 fingers and what seems to be the normal alternative. Maybe my mouth was not opened enough? Too much? I'm curious actually does the ear get bigger as the mouth opens or smaller? I feel for the money invested the fit isn't right yet this is my first pair and don't quite know what I'm talking about and don't want to be abusing of the system or anything.
