Hmmm, that sounds much better than mine. Maybe I need a fit tweak. If I move my jaw (just about any direction) my right SF seems to lose a bit of seal. I'm not sure but I think I can make my left SF lose a bit too, but the motion required is more extreme.

With no music, I can hear and understand conversation quite clearly from 5 feet away and I can fairly clearly hear the clicks when I type.
Maybe I should try putting some moisturiser (or do it properly and obtain some Oto Ease) to see if that improves the seal and/or isolation.
But I'm thinking they are going to need some tweaks to the fit. I wonder if an audiologist can do it here in Australia rather than ship them back and forth?

With no music playing, I can hear my wife talking when she is 5 feet away, but I can't really hear the words. She's already glared at me a few times. When I'm typing, I can very faintly hear the clicks. And the same with my (rather loud) air conditioning. I think they are a bit less isolating than a pair of pretty good -25db foam earplugs. |
