Women <BR>> have smaller diameter ear canals than men, and the sizes of the ear canals <BR>> vary by race. <BR>> <BR>> I tried the HR-20's sold by Pianotek. The first day I got an earache in my <BR>> left ear. The second day I told myself; "Don't be such a wimp, Diane." So <BR>> I wore them again and got earaches in both ears! <BR>> <BR>> I even tried cutting the flanges narrower to try to make them <BR>> comfortable--no luck. <BR>> <BR>> Diane <BR>> <BR>> </BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
