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.

15 years of IEMs, never an issue. It can be a lot of things. Climate, hygiene, local microbials of the region, and cleanliness and care of the IEM itself.
