On the downside, the silicone ear tips don't want to stay in my ears. I found out last night that when I yawned the one on the right pops out. By noon today, both wanted to fall out of my ears. Ear tips made of other materials are available and I'll definitely ry some out.
I occasionally have that problem with mine. I used these foam tips when I was on a tractor regularly, and they worked pretty well:

I don’t recall exactly why I went back to the Apple silicone tips, but they (the stock Apple tips) generally work pretty well for me, except for the occasional popping out.

Interesting thought. My grandfather had bad hearing but never bought hearing aids. When conversations were going on, he would cup his hand behind his ear to hear what we were saying. By contrast, my wife's father was very soft speaking, but when my grandfather and him got together, my grandfather never had to cup his hand behind his ear. I guess my father-in-law's voice frequency was such that Grandpa could hear him just fine.
That can certainly be true. My hearing at low frequencies is bad but almost non-existent at the higher frequencies. Starting at the pitch of my wife's voice....
