AirPods 4 keep falling out of ears

What does it take to keep the AirPods Pro 4 noise cancellation in your ears. This was an expensive purchase and can't seem to keep them in my ears. Need help with this as soon as possible because I seem to spend more time picking them up and looking for them when they fall out. Thanks.

Getting a Good Grip:

  1. Trim: your ears of excess hair
  2. Rid: of earwax (Q-Tip for each ear, and toothpick and microfibre cloth for the AirPods).
  3. Use: the correct size at AirPods Pro 2 Ear Tips - 2 sets (Medium) - Apple Support

If the shape of your ears lies outside the norms that they are designed for then there's not much you can do practically. I can't use them because they fall out as soon as I put them in, never mind moving my head. I use Beats Fit Pro because they've got a hook that keeps them in my ears.


I used to have the same problem with iPhone wired phones that came with iPhones back in the day. I used to buy silicone covers with ear hooks to make them wearable, but you can' do that with Airpods because they won't fit in the charge case.
