Length of my Resound receiver wire

You could try and get hold of the receiver measurement tool, which would give the correct size. You’ll need the HP receiver no doubt.

You don’t see a number and 2 letters printed on the receiver? The number is the wire length and the two letters are the receiver power. Mine are 3 MP, which is 3 length wire with medium power receivers.

Thanks for the Replys. I did find a printable measurement tool on line and while it’s pretty difficult to use on myself I think I’m a 3. I just ordered a #3MP as my mold did have MP stamped in very small print that I could read with a magnifying glass. Be interesting to see if this works out or I wasted money.

That is VERY COOL! I didn’t even know that receivers had the wire numbers on them. Indeed, my Phonak Marvel receivers have 2P stamped on them, so I’m guessing “2” is the length, and “P” is maybe for Power?

I love that ear wire measuring tool! I’ve LONG thought that my ear wires are simply too long. They stick out of my ears and catch on fingers, combs, etc., But of course the other part of that equation is that my silicone domes always slip slooooowly out of the canal all day long, too. I’m forever pushing them back INTO my canal cuz the sound quality deteriorates as they work their way out.

Where can us lowly consumers BUY such a device? It appears it may be for audi use only?

You can actually have the mold made/fitted with a canal lock, this works for 95% of people.

Check this post, gives you all the right information about them.

Concha locks, retention locks, etc. for receivers, molds... what are these?

I have small, strange ear canals and I really have trouble getting hearing aids to stay in my ears. I’ve given up on custom molds, for instance, because they just fall out. Lately I’ve been using – on a different pair of aids – thin tubes with the retention locks that are just like plastic cords that stick out. These fall out, too. On this forum and elsewhere, I see mentions of different kinds of locks. I’ve even come across somebody talking about molds with locks. Thing is, I have no idea wh…

Re length of wire. . . I wear a No.0 wire and it’s still a tad too long! But I don’t have trouble with them falling out, thank goodness. Just that they bulge a little bit in front of my pinna/ear.

Newest Sound Delivery System (SDS 6.0) for Phonak Infinios have also 00 number, smaller than 0 .

Must be for children, I’ve always wondered how they fit RIC to young ones.

Mee too. Even 0 (according to Phonak recommendation) is a bit too long for me, despite rather normally looking ear and be rather taller person.

I wonder is it any table with exact length in cm/mm of 00, 0, 1, 2, 3? I’ve never found any.
