[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2934585, member: 5412"] Big issue here.^^^^^ They were not properly fit. Most hearing aids are fitted by folks that don't wear them. If they did for a week, they would have an attitude change. Most of the issues come from the audiologist not fitting the inner ear insert to fit the ear canal. It feels like you have a potato stuck in your ear. There are 4 sizes of wings around the actual microphone that is in your ear if you have models from the last few years. My left ear canal is 1/2 the size of the right. When I wore the full size, I got ear infections and wax build ups that required weekly visits to a DR for removal. Once I found out there were different sizes, the ear infections went away. Here are the three sizes. Hard to see but there are three.
