I don't wear mine. They seem to go on only one ear, do not fit right and they hurt. I try reforming them but it didn't work. They now just sit in my jewerly box.

I had the exact same problem with mine and I've yet to figure out a way to stop it from hurting other than putting hard wax on the edges

No they just go on the left ear but as to the pain I think its going to hurt no matter what way you try to put them.

Yes they can be worn in either ear. I have done so. I don't know why anyone would tell you different. I wear mine in the right ear, because has the worst hearing. If you decide to wear two you will have to remove one when you talk on the phone as putting anything up to you ear while wearing the game ear can cause an awful back feed squeal.

Roberta, It does seem to work best to use two hands to install these ear plugs. You must squeeze the plug pretty firm on the end that goes into the ear. Then pull up and out on the top of the ear before inserting plug into the ear. As this will set the plug depth in the ear so it stays in the ear after the plug swells back up. Not sure how well you would get along with these with MS. I would suggest ear phones for your situation maybe. Thanks - Alan Wolf

Believe it or not, I had to find a YouTube video for the fit. It goes over the top of your ears and the "headband" slides to the back of your head. They are absolutely comfortable and never hurts my ears. Because of my recommendation to a friend, they purchased TWO of these to use with their iPhones. The ease of going from music to phone and back to music is incredible -- even for one of my friends who is blind. He loves them! Hope my answer helped you!

I am not sure which models the eartips are for. Seems to me they are just a standard eartip. The gel eartips can be used for either ear. I use on the left side and a coworker uses on the right. They are very comfortable in our opinion. Hopes this helps.

For me they do block the noise somewhat but I found them tricky to squeeze & twist the one end to a point & then try to hurry & get it in my ear at the right angle to seal up the ear hole before it starts to expand again. Also, after a few uses they don't seem to squeeze as well which is why you get several, I guess. After trying these, I found a pair that look like a screw made of something rubbery and they sortof screw into your ear. A friend had said this type hurt their ears but I found them comfy and they almost block every bit of sound. This is the type that I will use from now on. I would try both.

This is the only brand and style I wear. They stay in my ears until I wear them so long that they start to dry out and then occasionally one might come out during the night. But, I usually will change them out before they get hard. I keep the pair I'm using in a plastic case when I'm not wearing them. I sleep on my side and they don't stick so far out of my ear that they are uncomfortable. I make sure that they are warmed from my hands before I squeeze the end that I insert in my ear and then when it expands in my ear, it stays put. I just make sure they are pushed in far enough. I am so used to them I can't sleep without them! Hope this helps. This is the only brand and style I wear.

They came with 3 different size silicone buds that you can change out. I think I have relatively normal size ears and the medium and small work really well for me. The silicone is really flexible so you can get a very nice fit. The only issue I have had is that sometimes they fit so well I can't hear anything except what I'm listening to. At work I only wear 1 ear bud in most of the time or else my coworkers scare me to death when they come into my office and I don't notice. I-pod ear buds I have found to be slightly too big and they start to hurt my ears after awhile. I haven't had that issue with this type of ear bud at all and can't imagine using a different kind. My husband uses the large silicone buds and he has slightly odd shaped ears and many other types don't work well for him at all.

try this---use the silicone buds, but moisten the tips before insertion to your ears. put them in as far as possible for a totally air-tightseal, and they will sound completely different. Not necessarily rcommended, but I lick mine before insertion.

They were too big for my ears, hurt so much I couldn't wear them. Whoever said they were falling out of their ears, it makes me doubt they inserted them correctly. They are so big I can't imagine them falling out of anyone's ears (but then of course, maybe it's my imagination lacking). They are BIG.

I have the same issue. I tried with several of my other ear hooks from other products such as Samsung but none seems to fit. Without the ear hooks these are useless as they keep falling off while jogging. Please let me know if you found a way to get an additional hook.

You need to buy one for the left ear and/or one for the right ear. One unit is not a universal fit.

My experience is that it comes through both sides. I would check the placement of your earpieces and make sure they line up properly. That may be part of your issue. Other then that it appears not to be functioning correctly.

So... I am not sure if everyones ears are different but mine go around my ears. They are a perfect fit around my ears. My only problem is the super long coord :).

I guess you could wear them flipped around and in opposite ears... but over the ear really is the best way for these. They're incredibly comfortable and it barely feels like you're wearing anything.

Nancy, the ring at the bottom of the picture goes over either the left or the right (you choose) ear piece of your glasses. You fold the ear pieces up, and the glasses hang from there. You can unfold them and put them on. I usually leave mine attached to the earpiece. If that bothers you, just slide the glasses out when you have them on and let the "necklace" lay on your chest.I've used the ones that clip on the ends of the earpieces but they ALWAYS break. I ran across one of these at WalMart and had the same question: How does this work? It works GREAT! As a plus, it's really hard to break.

I havent bought this yet, but they are most likely different sizes so you wrap the longer one around your neck, and into your right ear. This is convenient once you get used to it.
