apparently the shape uf your ear changes every 4 years, does anyone have the same pair of custom iem's as they did 4 years ago? has the fit changed?

just curious, i remember my granfather gettin new hearing-aids a while ago, coz the custom moulds didnt fit anymore...

So they say, but I've heard of cases where custom IEM's lasted about 7 years and where still ok. I am not the case (yet). It all depends on a number of things.
