To those who felt discomfort with customs and had to get them refit, does it feel unconformable when you leave your mouth open (same position at the time you took your impressions)? I'm wondering if closing my mouth will induce discomfort because the canal will constrict, pressing against the bone/cartilage with greater pressure. I had mine taken in the open-mouth position with a bite block.
I had mine done with bite block as well. My right was amazing, left not so much. If I closed my mouth it was like someone was stabbing me in the ear with a screw driver. Or even if I had my mouth open and moved my lower jaw to the right it was the same pain. I sent them back and had them shorten the length of the left. Came back and no problems.
Some things you can get used to, that one was not a get used to it problem. Rest of the fit was perfect, seal etc, just that stabbing when closing mouth. Hope that helps a little.
