I've had a pair of JLabs that have an ear loop on them, and they stay put just fine. They sound pretty good, and the batteries last forever between charging.

Have you considered something like a headband over your ears to hold in the earbuds?
I also have small ears and hook designs never stay on me. I had a JLab open sport and it always slipped. But the XC1 clip stays on my ears with no problem.
Anker soundcore a30i are my favorite right now. Also jlab go pop+, but they don't have the noise canceling. The anker you can find on sale for $20 pretty regularly, and they're the best buds I've ever worn for fit, clarity and noise canceling. And I have probably 30 sets including beats. I had a previous set, and one bud started buzzing. I filled a claim, answered a few questions, and they sent me a replacement set within the week. Customer services was slow to reply to email, like 24 hour responses, but still replaced easily. The next pair has been perfect.
I also like the tozo and jlab open ear. And the jlab jbuds mini are the smallest in case I've ever seen, and it fits in my keychain.
I have the same issue! I found open ear headphones the best for me. I tried airpods this week and they're not bad but I have a Samsung phone so most features dont work (thats a whole nother thing)
The only one that isnt open ear that I can use is an ankor soundcore a30i. I found then on tiktok shop for $9! But theyre typically more like 25ish. Tozo open ear and jlab open ear both works good for me and were under $50.
