This is a general CIEM question and so I thought it was best to post it here. I was wondering whether there are any safety issues with having extra long nozzles with a CIEM. For example, having the nozzles built as long as a triple flange tip for a universal IEM. Would it have any detrimental effect on sound? Thanks.

It will have an effect on the sound, whether it is a good one or bad one, that depends on the monitor and tuning I guess. Usually making the canals long in ciems bring the midrange more upfront but it is not a rule and it doesn't have to be this way all the time. Long story short, yes it will have an impact on the sound, the length of the canal is determined precisely according to the tuning and sound signature.
As for the health, well you would want to keep your membrane untouched I believe. I had several very long canal ciems, none of them became dangerous for me so surely the manufacturers know what they are doing.
Is there a big difference between nozzles that extend to the 2nd bend of the ear canal and those that go just past there? I've been toying with the idea of getting a CIEM for a while and was offered the choice of getting "long canals" for the Westone ES60, which would go just past the 2nd bend. I like the idea of a nice deep fit (I use triple flange tips with my universal Westone W40), but past the 2nd bend sounds like it could be painful.
Hello, I'm having some fit issues with my Hidition NT-6. I posted in its thread, but wanted to post here as well to get some advice. Here is a summary of the issues I am experiencing.
1) The right earpiece feels a little looser in my ear. I notice it especially when I yawn or move my jaw. This doesn't happen with the left.
2) The right earpiece also cause some discomfort/pain in my ear when I move it around. This also doesn't happen with the left.
3) My right ear also feels "sensitive" after I remove the earpiece. This does go away eventually and it is not severe pain. Again this doesn't happen with the left.
4) I tried the seal test on the Sensaphonics website several times. I can hear both tones in both ears, but in the right both tones sound quieter than the left.
5) I had tried measuring the canals for both earpieces and thought they were the same length, but my work colleague tried and is convinced the right is about 2mm longer than the left.
Does anybody have any suggestions on what the problem could be? Could the slight difference in length between the right and left canals be causing these issues (including the volume difference)? Is my best option to return the NT-6 to Hidition to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help.
