I went to the local track helmet store and tried many different helmets from many different brands/models before I found one that fit me. The variance was great. I'd fit a large in one brand but it was a XL in another. Each would apply pressure differently.

My suggestion would be to go try many different helmets and find the one that fits you. There's no way to know what works for you without trying it on.
Yes, understood. As I said, the overall fitment of the helmet is good everywhere else. It passes all of the usual fitment tests, including the most critical one around the crown.

I was just asking how much break-in I can expect from the pads around the ears, if any.
