Hi guys… Here am new to IEMs… I got my Truthear hola a week before. After 6 days of usage I got a (Otomycosis) fungal ear infection and also noticed pain from beginning of the usage. Am on Tropical area here we can’t live without Celing Fans and AC’s.So the nature of iems to block airflow inside Canal right…That may be the cause?

Does anyone have faced this issue? Is there any breathable Ear tips? Yes I need to compromise in Low sub bass. But I don’t want to damage my ears.

        Im playing at 6-8% in Windows, mainly playing L4D2 rn, in-game volume is even lower (around 2/3 sfx volume), i assumed that it’s because of my IEM hygiene, i forgot to clean my most used Zero since it’s for gaming, always use it for a long period of time and didn’t remember to clean afterwards. Extremely regret now since the pimple/acne kinda block my ear canal.
