Just wondering if any of you have experienced something like that? I remember wearing my UM2s with the short Comply tips the first time and they fit snugly after expanding from rolling them between my fingers.

But since then, I've been using bi-flanges which do exert some pressure on the insides of my ear canals. While not painful, the pressure is noticable.

I decided to try changing back to the Compy tips and they went straight in easily. They're also removed easily. The isolation is still there though, except it's noticably looser than the first time I used them.

I'm wondering if my ear canals have expanded to conform to the bi-flanges, or if the Comply tips have somehow shrunk.

Any similar experiences??

i think they do expand a little bit, but not much

Silicons or Bi/Triflanges do soften and get more comfortable with use - I'm up to 6 months on my first set of Ety Triflanges and they are now very comfortable.
No idea how much your ear canals would lose elasticity...not a great deal I would hope

lol is that from pinching your ears to insert the iem?

I definetly think mine might have. After using my E2 for around half a year they along with my e4c now take seconds to insert and get a full seal. Also I don't feel them anymore, when before it was always obvious there was something inserted.

This is using the ultra soft tips which are a bit "fatter" than the foamies.

my iems dont really expand my ear canals.. not really noticeable.. stil using a modded biflange.. and i still find the smallest normal sleeve a little too big..


but at least i know.. my iems's been shrinking..my..



bank account..

Yes, I could use the sall foam two years ago but now only the large with seal.

Your ears are deflowered! No longer virgin.

Maybe you should switch to a smaller tip?

I'm currently using the bi-flanges and I assume they come in standard sizes. But that's partly why I wanna try the Shure flex sleeves.
