As for them staying in your ear, do you pull up on your earlobe when inserting normal ear plugs? I discovered this a while ago and it took in-ear stuff from being absolutely unusable to working great.
I did! I noticed it written on a box of disposable earplugs at some point, so I abided. It made things marginally better in my case, but not by much. Either I was doing it wrong, or it’s that ear canal shapes are different enough that different people have to have different solution (why on Earth can some people use foam earplugs all right, and yet they just spring out of my ears?? 😆)
I have small ear canals and can't use most ear plugs and ear buds because they just push out of my ears, and if they do manage to stay I can feel it constantly pushing outwards on my ear and it starts to hurt pretty quickly. No one else in my house has this problem. I would absolutely say ear canals are different enough that there cannot be a catch-all solution so they just have to go with average range. I'm sure if I got custom plugs it would be different, but anything off the shelf is not going to work for my baby ears.
Not trying to be funny, have you tried actual children’s ear plugs? Or are those too small?
I haven't tried those, didn't even consider it for some reason. Thank you.
Best of luck! Hopefully they work. Figure “big kids” plugs might fit your “tiny adult” ears!!
I'm a big kid now! 🤣
