I knew that was going to draw some disagreement, Stan!

I've just found that in the course of a day hunting, its not infrequent that I need to make a call or receive a call, and it would be nice to leave the earpiece in place. But I can certainly see it the way you do as well. With a gaggle of kids at home and a job that requires being available by phone almost 24/7, I can't really ditch the phone at this point in my life.

I've been wondering about getting a molded earpiece made that would attach to my Otto's. they do eventually start hurting my ear after enough hours with them in place.

One update to my post from yesterday: after posting, I emailed Otto to ask about replacing the earpiece that is not connecting to the charger. I'm well past the one year warranty, but they asked no questions and are sending me a return label today. So I'll stick with my unreserved recommendation for the Otto Noizebarrier Micro
