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.

Did using anti-fungal eardrops not help at all? Clean ur eartips with soap and water and dry them out before wearing. Or sanitize everything, this isn't common here and I'm from a tropical country too.
Maybe ask the doc if iems would cause this issue and if cleaning it would mitigate the issue. Hearing loss is a serious issue I don't think u should ask us for advice haha
