I have the same problem, plus my ears are apparently delicate flowers and so far I haven't managed to use ear anything that don't irritate the hell out of them. Even talking on a phone for a long time makes them hurt.
Ever since I drove in the pouring rain of Hanna, my car smells like something died in it. Sigh.
Happy Birthday Nutty!
Ugh sarameg, I hope your week starts going better.
I first I thought Palin was a good pick, then I started to have doubts, now I'm starting to think it was an absolute home run. I think I'm too influenced by the media coverage. Maybe I need a week of ignoring it and let the convention momentum settle now. I'm becoming more pessimistic though.
Re: the Thakoon collection.
Spats. Lots and lots of spats. Really? I don't get it.
Tep, have you tried the sport earbuds that go over the ear, like these: [link] ? I'm completely incapable of using any plain earbuds for exactly the reason you're describing, but I love over-the-ear thingies to death.
Do they sort of sit outside the ear canal, rather than snuggling into it? If I have earbuds that sit outside the ear canal, I have to crank up the volume (which is more a failure of my auditory physiology than the earbuds, I'm aware).
Teppy, I've had these since I first got an iPod, and I love them.

Meanwhile, I got up to call into a 7AM conference call, which is at 9AM everyone else's time, and it's pretty much all about fallout from Gustav. I do not need to be on this call. And yet here I am.
That link doesn't show anything, Dana.
Gross on the conference.
Happy birthday, Nutty! I hope it's full of squash courts and tasty treats and captivity narratives.
Hmm. Can't tell if the problem is my link, or the Apple Store. It's the first result on this page:
