Selecting an eartip:

No two ears are exactly alike. The eartip that is most

comfortable is the best choice, but it must seal well

to prevent feedback (whistling) and provide proper

protection.

When changing eartips make sure the eartip

fits securely on the stem of the device.

Greatest sound reduction is achieved

with deeply-sealed foam eartips
