Tips for Comfort?

Hey y'all. So my boyfriend- as you may have read- is super accepting of my kink/interest. He earsteths me. But the only thing keeping him from actually using my steth on me is he finds the ear pieces uncomfortable. Does anyone have any tips on how to make them more comfortable for him?

Convert to a mic and headphones/earbuds. Some steths have softer eartips but are more expensive. Make sure they are not inserted backwards (angled toward the front). Long term listening was never a design goal of any stethoscope.

Is being angled toward the front backwards? That'd explain an awful lot. What about super cheap steths that don't particularly point one way or the other? I guess for those it probably just doesn't matter.

Mine is a Sprague. He finds the earpieces pinchy and uncomfortable in the short term so we haven't even tried long term

I have very small ear canals. Pretty much anything, like ear pieces or ear buds, hurt my ears. Haven't found a good solution.

ever give a thought to over-ear or on-ear headphones?

That's what I use for pretty much anything. Problem is full size over ears are not as portable. I manage though.

I got softer plastic earpieces on Ebay.
