What I’ve Learned from/About My iPod Touch (won at the CLIQ booth at BlogWorld) - Part I
The inside of my left ear is apparently malformed (I’d always been so proud of my cute little ears - my best feature, I thought), as the earbuds that come with iPods brutally push (er, read: lightly touch) against the cartilage and it hurts. A LOT! I knew that the ear canal in my left ear wasn’t as straight as the one in my right ear because I can’t get foam earplugs to stay in my left ear properly. They don’t expand nicely to block out the noise of you people who live in a daytime world, while I slumber. The silicone putty works just dandy though, just in case you were worried unnecessarily about my deformed ear canal issues. I did not know that I had a weird inner ear left ear design. Intelligent design, my behind! Anyway, I had to buy new earphones and I was shocked, SHOCKED!, to learn that they can cost as much as $500. Can you imagine? Leigh-Ann helped me do lots of research on earbuds/earphones from a variety of companies, from fancy Shure and Sennheiser to JVC, Bose, Etymotic, Philips, Koss, JBuds, V-MODA, and then my head exploded, so I didn’t need earphones anymore. Actually, I found these Coby Super Bass earbuds and they had pretty terrific reviews for the price. I figured that $5 earbuds with good reviews were an excellent place to start. I should be getting them tomorrow. If they’re good, I’ll buy another pair in case something unforeseen happens to them. We have cats. I don’t think I need to elaborate.

I’m really sorry you have to live with this freakish deformity. It must be very hard for you to go out in public.
Srsly, good luck with the new ones. I do pretty well with the iPod earbuds, although they fall out a lot. Over-the-head earphones of any kind, though, are really painful to me and I can’t tolerate them more than a few minutes.
