Fit Testing
A good way to gauge whether or not the SuperTip is sealing
properly in your ear canal is by snapping your fingers right
next to your ear. If the seal is proper, your ear will not feel
"plugged," yet the snapping of your fingers will sound dull
and distant. If you hear your finger snaps distinctly, the
seal is probably not adequate. If the sound of your finger
snapping is dull and distant, but your ear feels plugged up,
like you're on an airplane preparing to land, then you've
over-inserted the SuperTip.
Using SuperTips on Flights or At High Altitudes
When using SuperTips at different altitudes, the air pressure
within your ears may change, thereby changing the sound
that you hear from the headphones. This is especially true
with the gains and drops in altitude during airplane travel.
To help with this, occasionally break the seal and re-insert
your headphones into your ears. Another helpful tip is the
common exercise of holding your nose and very gently
blowing through it, which can relieve some of the pressure
in your ears.
