Emergency IEM repair

[tb-player]

I recently dropped about 30lb. This morning, I sat in at a church for the first time since unloading the extra weight and I couldn’t hear the bass. Turns out, my IEMs wouldn’t seal. Apparently weight loss affects the shape of your ear canal. A quick run to the store and a cut up bandaid did the trick. It changed the angle just enough to get my bass back in my ears. Whew!

Anyone else ever deal with this?

Congrats. Yes. I've heard that weight changes (and aging) can change the size/shape of your ear canals, significantly for some people. I've been up and down myself and fortunately, at least for my purchase mine haven't changed much on either count, so I guess it's normal but not universal.
