In-ear headphones don't last

Wear the in-ear headphones correctly

• Often, one reason in-ear headphones won't hold up is that they're using a too large head. In-ear does not mean in the outer auricle, choose the smallest attachment. The earphone can almost disappear into the ear.
• Twist the small capsule in your ear, this will help insert it correctly. The capsule and ears are usually not completely round. Find the position that suits you best.
• There are in-ear headphones that can also be attached behind the ear with a bracket. These earplugs should stick with everyone.
• If you are tired of improvising and you are ready to spend over € 120, then have the in-ears made to measure for you

Custom earbuds aren't cheap, but they'll stick in your ear

You can have many conventional in-ear headphones built into capsules that are made to measure your ears. It works like this:

1. Find a hearing care professional on the Internet or in the business directory. Ask him if he also makes earmolds for earphones.
2. Let the specialist make an impression of your ear canal. Not every earphone can be built into an earmold. The hearing aid acoustician can clarify this with the headphone manufacturer.
3. With the impression that the acoustician has made of your ear, a negative mold is now made and a blank is cast with this. You can choose between different materials. The in-ear headphones can be fitted into hard blanks made of acrylic or soft ones made of silicone.
4. A cavity is let into the blank, into which the technology of the earphone is later fitted.

The advantage of these in-ear headphones is not only that they hold securely, they are guaranteed not to slip out, but also that these earphones cannot press.
