From the Desk of David Pogue - The Almost Invisible Earbud - NYTimes.com:

"this has been my secret for seven years--I am a silent sufferer from IEDSPS: iPod Earbuds Don't Stay Put syndrome. Like about 10 percent of the population (my estimate), my ears simply lack whatever flap of flesh or cartilage you're supposed to have for holding those darned earbud discs in place."

Thank you, thank you, David for heightening the awareness of this debilitating affliction! I, too, am a sufferer. No more will I be embarrassed to wear my over-the-ear personal listening devices, no matter what my teens say - they already pretend not to know me in public venues anyway! IEDSPS sufferers, our time has come - boot the buds; and proudly sport your ear-gear of choice!
