You can get another replacement but it may cost you £85. That’s what they charge in Harrogate for replacements.

Your hearing aid may still be on the ground where you lost it but in a radius of about 10-15 feet. In a bush, down a drain or flattened by a car.

Good hunting Allan C.

You can buy a spray that will help with wax.

Your ear molds. I have had similar problems but it’s ME not putting them in the correct place.

If you shove them in too far you get problems and the sound from them is blocked or sent in the wrong direction.

Mine have the part that goes into the ear channel and a loop. High up that goes into part of the upper ear. That bit has to in the right place or the ear bit is in the wrong place.

I get told off every time I go to Audiology dept.

Well I am deaf!

No there is only a slight difference between the molds being in the right or wrong place and it makes a big difference to your hearing level.

You can disturb the molds by taking or putting on a jersey, even eating or drinking may disturb them but usually that’s rare.

Molds are for those with a big problem, the domes used if not so bad.

It varies prison to person as you would expect.

While I’m not totally deaf I’m not far off that and any further deterioration and I will have big problems.

Hearing aids. Can only help so much. My problems started in about 2000 - 2005. Before that exellent hearing could almost hear a pin drop!

No idea why hearing went down hill after 2005. AGE ?
