Ok, my audiologist is trying hard to find a way to keep my right aid from constantly working its way out of my ear canal. He’s had them re-made 3 times now. The left is staying in place pretty good, but the right continues to be a problem. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Not to sure what it is called but some people have a condition where you can feel your jaw in your ear when you speak and chew etc. Most people with this condition, find wearing moulds/ cic aids hard work as they keep coming out.

Does your audi have you chewing gum or opening and closing your mouth when they are making the impression? If not it might help. I too say if you can’t get the to stay put go for a , they are probably more invisible than your CIC’s anyway. Good luck!

I tried . They won’t stay in either. If I could find one that has a bendable wire that holds it’s shape better, maybe. I don’t know if there is such an animal though.

I had a Starkey (Destiny) and it was so loose it actually fell out of my ear. My audiologist had Starkey put a little foot extension on it. It was on the bottom of the CIC and extended out away from the CIC. I think it just gave it more area touching the ear, and it worked.

It was hard plastic and it was like it was melted/welded into the plastic case of the hearing aid.
