Any Hearing Aid users here? I'm having trouble.

[Scottie Mom]

17. Been there and done that, too!

Now, I stopped wearing the contacts all together!

With the aids that you can adjust with an app on your phone, you can turn the volume down so that when you first get them, the sound will not overwhelm you.

I have both CIC and over the ear. The over the ear have the ear pieces that we fitted to my ear canals by doing molds. I find that getting good molds made is the most important part of getting really good results with you aids.

Here's a hint: Keep your mouth relaxed when they stick the mold gunk in yours ears to make the impression of your ear canal. Notice if you grimace, the shape of the canal changes. Don't smile...just be totally normal with no tension in your face. That hint, I learned the hard way!

Please feel free to message me any time with any questions. I have worn aids for about 20 years. Glad to help anyone else thru the process. My hearing loss is severe. So if I can use aids successfully, I think anyone can.
