    She probably just has unusually thin ear lobes. Look for a product
    that is a round silica pad, having a 'button' on one side. The
    'button' is inserted into the tab portion of the clip. It gives a
    little more thickness, and gives a cushion against the ear. RGA has
    them on p.450 of their 2001-2002 catalog, several different sizes and
    configurations. Omega clips use the large donut.
