YES -- this is why I consider turning off AGC a really bad idea, especially in a contesting environment where you have the RF gain cranked to copy a very weak station and a guy calls you with a signal well over S9.
They happen even in the best families. Your ears could be badly damaged before you could yank the Etymotics out. I'd never, ever use in-ear headphones in a ham-rig setting.
Absolutely no difference between in-ear and circumaural to the extent that the transducers are linear.
