I've just realised why my ears ache after using the Ety ER4-S. It's cos the barrel (the black part that butts up to the thinner section we call the stalk) is thick enough that it's pushing apart that little nook in the ear that it sits in (yes I must have small ears).
Does anyone know if it can be thinned or something? The actual flanges and all that are completely fine, and I have no problem with insertion depth, it's just this barrel causing pain in that little 'nook' that eventually gets to me after an hour or so. I can't see this level of discomfort just going away, like how ppl say others will get used to the insertion depth.
I'm thinking along the lines of sanding the outside edges of the barrel til it's a bit thinner, but I have no idea how thin the housing already is, or if it would detriment how well they work.
ANY ideas would really be appreciated.
