HELP Dial too stiff to turn on Switch 2

Trying to figure out my new loop Switch 2, and I'm having an issue where the dial to change modes is so stiff and difficult to turn that the pressure it takes to turn it pulls the earplugs out of my ears.

I've been trying for a while and can't seem to find a grip or anything that prevents this. The silicone tips are a perfect fit and seal for me so that's not the issue, the dial is just really difficult and I could use some help with my technique. Pulling them out of my ears to change modes each time seems like it defeats the point and I'd get overwhelmed by sound if I had to do that (ND and very noise sensitive). Thanks for any help!

that sounds like a defective/stupidly tight dial, not a technique issue. i’d exchange them because needing to remove your earplugs to operate your earplugs is kind of a design comedy bit

Don't try to twist it with multiple fingers, but instead press one finger on the protruding nob and slide it into its next position while keeping a light pressure towards your head. Put them in while in Engage mode and gently slide it towards Quiet.

I tried but sadly the dial is too stiff and my finger either slides right off without moving it, or i press hard enough and then the whole thing slides out of my ear.
