Does anyone actually like those silicone tips vs a solid body?

I personally cannot wear the silicone ones. they either fallout, or don’t fit/hurt my ears.

it’s just a royal pain finding the non silicone ones for cheap. it’s just for dog walking. I also don’t do wireless because well… they fall out.

    They sell kits to make your own custom-fit silicone plugs. They’re like $10 on Amazon.

    Work great. Push the goo into your ear, wait a few minutes and it’s cured enough to take out. Wait another hour or so and it’s fully cured.

      Yup, I learned about it later. Its called radians. There are other companies. I did try the material and works okay. The key design factor is that it won’t stick to your skin or eardrums. Well there are kits that are like that, do you gotta test the material before you go stick it up your ear holes. Even I wasn’t that dumb. I practiced several times before committing LOL. You would not LOL not hearing anything anymore, so again, just go to the audiologist. It defeats the purpose if you hurt your hearing while trying to hear better.
