thanks guys… appreciated.
i did have coustom moulds, but though well fitted (my audiologist is terrific), i don’t like how they feel, that sort of something sticking in your ear ;-)).
i do have unusally small canals in my ears, and even the regular small size dome can feel too tight. i simply wanted to see if there was such a thing as ex small - i see some listed on commercial websites, but i really don’t want to order any without knowing if THEY are any small than i’m used to.
my audio. is 200km away, so that’s not worth the trip. btw. adjustments (when rarely needed) are done remotely 
stay well.
i might try cutting the skirt on a pair, both lengthwise, and width. can’t really do any harm…
