Freakishly Small Ear Holes? There Is Help For All Three Of Us.
I spend half my workout shoving wayward ear buds back in my ears. All the while, I’m looking around at other people, and wondering why they don’t have this problem. Did they glue their ear buds in? A little chewing gum perhaps? I should have ear hole blisters from all the constant cramming. In fact, I’m sure I have ear hole blisters. They should come in different sizes: small, medium, and old man ear. But, they don’t. Instead of wearing my 1992 Walkman head phones -which, work just fine- I endure ear hole abuse for the sake of my vanity (and the fear of becoming a fanny pack wearing speed walker in a “I heart my kitty” sweat shirt.)
Ear hole abuse is a real problem people. If you are currently abusing your ears, stop the madness and get some wrap around ear buds. I did. Best 10.00 I have spent in a while. Except, maybe that screw top gallon of Carlo Rossi. What? We are in a recession people.
I am just gonna say ear one last time. And also bud.
You are welcome. Jog on people. Jog on.

I have old man ear holes. But sadly, my hearing isn’t bionic.

I usually don’t have a problem with them staying in but Sat. I was doing push ups and crunches and stuff and they kept falling out…

I have the SAME problem. I ordered some that were supposed to be X-small and they still fell out. My ear just doesn’t have the right little cup shape to hold them.
I tried some (cheaper) ones like those you show but they didn’t fit right, and I kept tugging at them until they broke. So I’m back to the the walkman ones.

I think they just make them for men’s ears. I’ve purchased about 10 pair. Tell me where you got them.

I got them at tar-jay. 9.99 baby.

LOLOLOL!! I just read this blog & it cracked me up bcuz I could sooooo relate I have been suffering with the same problem for a long time & figured I just cant be the only one that is frustrated by it! So I came online to see what I could find.
I feel like my ear holes reject any bud I’ve tried (I have about 7 diff pairs). I swear there are little ear trolls that are pushing them out just to screw with me. I too have ear hole pain due to them constantly being raped by the ear buds. I’ve crammed them in so hard at times, I just don’t see how they fall out!! hhhhhhhhhhhh
I’m gonna try your wrap around suggestion. I pray it works bcuz I honestly can’t take much more lol! It’s been a while since you’ve written this blog entry so if you wouldn’t mind too much, could you please shoot me a quick email back to let me know if the wrap around kind are still working out for you? Thanks in advance!!
