i recentley lost the smallest pair of rubber ends for my hpm70 and am using ones that are too big for my earholes , maybe this is making the sound too amplified or not letting enough vibration , i clean my ears about twice a week and wash them everyday , i like hpm70 they are perfect , but maybe i just need another pair of the smallest ear bud rubber things  |

Make sure your ears (and ear-canals) are clean and DRY when you use in-ear buds like the HPM-70's, or you could cause an ear infection.
My HPM-70's (and the Sony EX-71's I've replaced them with) have never caused me any pain, no matter how long I've worn them (max was like, 10 hours one day). |

@Jack(bunch of "7's") 
Actually to get a better seal, you should slightly moisten the plugs if they are silicone as this will assure a better fit. Etymotic, and Ultimate Ears both recommend this as it will help great a sound proof seal.

After reading all this, it seems that jack77777, that you seem to be suffering from some hearing loss. I mean, if your ears are hurting after you listen to music, and you can't hear some sounds, then there's something wrong. The HMP-70s are pretty good at isolating sound, so the only reason seems to be you turning up your volume too loud. This should be a scary thing for you (you're still in school right?).

Man... its Awesome...u know wot guyz, i took my HMP to work the other day. I wanted to enjoy some music from my w800i while working. But i knew if i put both the earphones i won't hear the office phone on my desk ringing. So i decided to put just the RIGHT earphone so that i would be able to hear the phone call on the other ear. About half and hour later, i heard a phone ringing very faintly and i thought, it might be my colleague's phone on the adjacent desk. But i soon realised that all my co-workers were staring at me. I knew something was wrong. Then i figured it all out. Incidentally, my office phone was placed on the RIGHT side of the desk and it had been ringing for ages. So from that day on, I have never taken my HMP along to work .

its all down to the level of volume that you put on.. i spend 3 hours, 5 days a week in a comfortable volume for my ear.. that should be no problem at all..

Is it settled then that jack77777 has a hearing problem and that for the most part we are all safe?

what are you guys on about i said my ears can hear again , its just the hpm70 damaged them temporelely because i put them on about 70% , because i was travelling in a car , and had been doing this all week , the only thing wrong with my ears is they hurt after an hour of listening to music with the hpm70 , stinging sensation , my point is after a while of using earphones all the time when you reach 60 years old you can go deaf , it is not just hpm70 it includes ipod earphones aswell |

and what we are saying, is that you seem to be the odd one out. No one else is getting the hurting ears that you get. I suggest you give up on megabase if you are using it for doof doof - that bad distortion will hurt anyone's ears.
If your ears still hurt after an hour of 70% listening without use of megabase, then YOU maybe should get your ears checked - because most of us, includinging my 39 year old self, don't have problems listening to the hpm-70 after an hour of listening at high volume. (I regularly do, and have never had sore ears).
