My customs are a bit uncomfortable and I feel like I have too much material in my ears, so I'm wondering if anybody has ever tried to change the shape of a set of customs to improve the fit. It seems risky, so maybe a hearing aid dealer would be a better place to start since they, afaik, often tweak the shape of customers' hearing aids to improve comfort or daily use. Any ideas?

Id go to an audiologist they have a cloth on a machine that can buff down your CIEMs, the audiologist you went to to get the impressions done might just do it for free.

Are you sure it's a fitment issue? or maybe your ears just haven't gotten used to it?

I've had them for several months and they feel like they are too big. There isn't any pain, but they are not comfortable - they do seem to go a bit too deep, too. The seal I get is bordering on being too good. I don't know for sure if it's just that customs are simply not for me or if my impressions were overdone somehow. They never "disappear" into my ears as many report.

The thickness of the shells are not much , best solution is to resend them and get a refit done if they are not comfortable.
There can be several reasons for improper fit, one of reason can be impressions. But in ear industry and hearing aids its quiet common nearly 25-30% of them need refit.

It's just not worth the hassle at this point. I'm going to stick to universals and just sell them.

If you have already planned to sell them, then try buffing them, as the new owner has no use of the shells anyhow
