Hi All,
Well today I received my custom ear molds for my UM2's.(Westone Model 56) What I'm trying to decided is if they fit correctly! If you own any custom ear mold product, I would like to hear your opinion.
I'm sure I'm getting a reasonably good seal as the UM2 sound great; better than with any other tip I have tried. Just as a quick comparison, I would say these make the UM's sound 50% better (just how I came up with that is beyond me
)
However, I do feel some new pressures on my ears that I never had before. I did wear them for a few hours straight and was not in any 'pain' per se, just not all that comfortable. Also, I'm not 100% sure I'm getting the total attentuation I should. It's really not much better (perhaps slightly) than the UM2 with the ety tips.
So, some guidance would be apprecated. I know this is such a difficult thing to desribe. The good thing is the audiologist said they would gladly remake them during the first 30 days if I felt the fit wasn't quite right.
