Hello all, newbie ETY user here.
Just got the ER-4P's. The sound, of course, is remarkable. I have even gotten used to the "stick in the ear"; after finding that the silicon tips would not give my ears a good seal, the foam seems to be a bit better.
A few questions about "comfort" -
1. I said I have gotten "used" to the "stick in the ear", but it still causes some discomfort - mainly that "itchy" feeling. Would I be correct in saying that after some usage, my ears will toughen up a bit and I will barely know the Ety's are there?
2. Would rubbing a little vasoline on the foams ease the discomfort a bit?
3. About air travel - The Ety's need a good seal, which makes me wonder about the shifting air pressure that occurs during air travel. Is this a problem with others who wear the Ety's?
How about when you have a cold? I am thinking the air seal might want to make your ears explode.
Apologies if this has been covered before. I did a forum search, and never did see any posts covering the above.
Thanks for any help!
