Options for severe hearing loss

@leccy

The people on the forum are amazing. I ignored their advice and regret it. I have in the ear hearing aids. When I got Power receivers I was amazed. When I got moulded inserts and removed my domes I heard so much better. My hearing aids work better. I hear better. And the inserts actually stay in my ears.

Standing here in shame, holding my hat in my hands. Saying thank you. I should have listened.

After the usual hearing tests she actually did REM - first time ever. At this point she basically aborted the session saying she couldn’t get a decent adjustment as there was too much noise escaping from my ears.

Indeed, this is one of the most useful features of REM: it can be used to assess the necessity of more occluded, or even closed, acoustic coupling (which is probably the case for you).
