Each person will vary with respect to what works re tips. I have very large concha with small ear canal and Xelastics work well for me with the U12T and Monarch Mk2 - after a while they become less sticky and conform to the shape of the concha/ear canal. If one is allergic to the material of course that’s a no-go- I find them a good compromise between foams (which when deeply inserted elevate the bass bit kill mid and treble detail) and other less well fitting silicones (which reduce the bass, especially if I can’t get a good seal, which is the case for most of them). Pairing is important too though- I was able to get a good seal with AzlaSednaEarfits (regular type not short or lite or crystal) with Final A4000 when nothing else would work, but can’t use those tips with any other IEM -so far at least.
I find my U12t very comfortable with the Azla SednaEarfit. They're a bit longer, have quite a large bore, conserve the bass and provide a quite good seal (size M).
The fit is better than my previous Penon Volt. Couple that with the excellent U12t sound and I don't miss the Volt.
I'm stepping back from the hobby for the time being and the U12t it's the only gear I don't feel like parting with

I initially used the Azlas but found them to be irritable for longer sessions. For super long sessions I use Spring Tips, and for shorter ones I use CP100 since they provide a slightly better seal and only a tad bit firmer.

I am curious, does the APEX technology in fact help those with tinnitus to have an easier (less flare ups) listening experience than without it? I've been searching and reading threads here, there were some mixed reviews, but involving very few people and this was several years ago already. Any new thoughts from anyone about this? (I'm considering the U12t). Thanks.

I would think this depends on the unique pathology of one's tinnitus, but it's an interesting thought. Personally, I only have very rare episodes of tinnitus and find it has nothing to with the external environment short of gun shot blasts.

We would definitely recommend you work with your Ear Nose & Throat doctor or your Audiologist to answer some of these medical questions for yourself, we aren't medical professionals and this isn't medical advise by any means. We know from our experience, both with our thousands of customers and internally, that playing audio in a sealed ear canal can exacerbate some hearing system issues that people may have, and the release of that pressure with our patented Apex technology has often helped minimize those effects or made it easier for certain people who've traditionally had those types of problems.

Personal experience - yes, in particular those IEMs with a DD like the Fourté and Noir (and to a lesser extent all BAs that don’t move air the same way).
The pressure difference is noticeable, especially with bass, as I feel the ear drum “rumble” less and accordingly it feels like the little muscles that control its movement / response to sounds fatigue less.
I do believe that it’s highly personal and also depends on what triggers your T. As mentioned, for me that’s heavy / hard bass and sub bass rumble. For others it might be sharp treble, for others midbass drone, and so forth.
