I think Audigy is like that (selling aids by multiplier manufacturers under their own label)

I see that there is some confusion.

Let me try to simplify:

I own a Belton Imagine 17 L/R with H3 receivers.
I also own the soft molds pictured.
Those H3 receivers go into those molds.
I also have plugs of varying size to minimize the vent if needed to avoid feedback. Currently there isn’t any, even if I put my hands over my ears, fingers touching my head in a dome, but I have them if needed.
It’s what I’m wearing, in all cases, at the moment.
Currently, my speech acuity with my wife in less-than-ideal (not F2F, 25 or so feet away, moderate obstruction for not-direct sound path but generally open) circumstances is satisfactory.

I also own a pair of Phonak Audeo Sphere I70, with, varyingly, P3 receivers, or Titanium molds (with tiny vents and a secured, immobile/fixed receiver; is at the tip.
I have issues with the Titanium molds at the moment, and the warranty has expired some time ago, despite a remake of the left mold.
The P3 receivers fit very nicely into the Beltone soft mold, and that’s how I’ve been for the last month or so while the Titanium molds’ issues were (unsuccessfully) addressed.

I’ve put the PASI70s aside for now and am testing the most-recent-best adjustment of the Beltone set. So far the speech has been a real treat compared to the Phonak (albeit without the Titanium molds). I haven’t yet had a musical test (rehearsal tomorrow will tell that tale) for my all-Beltone rig (I17 H3 in Beltone soft molds).

I apologize for any obfuscation in my original and trust this illuminates, rather than further obscures, what’s happening in my journey currently!

I’m getting the discourse popup menu

That is probably what I see too but didn’t know what to call it. At least the member asking got it figured out, maybe a few others too.

Thanks for adding to/correcting my post.

Some minor reportage:

My Beltones work best with the myPAL remote mic.
As was my experience before, it removes any and all issues with understanding my wife, with the added benefit of her being able to be not only unseen (no line-of-sight) but in an entirely different room on the main floor while I’m in the loft office.

AND

Wearing the microphone on myself allows me to hear my own voice, allowing tonal accuracy when singing, for instances of both rehearsal - including while listening to the piano track the director made for my part - and performance (during the church service, both hymns and the choir anthem).

If it turns out that this is the only solution, I’ll use it. But I’m still going to pursue the Titanium mold$ as it’s simply lo$t if I don’t.

But in parallel, I hope to have my supplier tweak my in-soft-mold receiver output to be better than it currently is. Given that I already have a solution (my now-ancient Beltones), and my having bought the Phonaks based on their Sphere technology, a Roger (the Phonak equivalent to myPalPro Beltone mic) would take that benefit away, as well as not be notably different than the Beltone experience I now have.

Sigh…
