sometimes I tape the hook to the Naida, other times I don't. It kind of varies. I find the earhook sits up higher if I put it on the ear in front of the Naida (Naida on ear first, then earhook on the outside of the Naida pointing away from my head). If I remember right, I had better luck with the NoizFree hook than I currently do with the MusicLink, and even far better results with the Hatis Epic (but that one's twice the cost of the MusicLink or NoizFree).
