Some context. Without hearing aids, it looks like:
• Right side – it’s a bit more stable
• Left side – it’s more unpredictable (due to constant tinnitus).
Different story while aided with , in my experience I’ve always had a similar “hearing experience” in my right and left side, both R+L side worked well together.
So I was kind of surprised that for some time now, at least for 1 month, I find myself pushing my Right HA (microphone) volume up (to the point of distortion) since I experience it as weaker and muffled. It seems really odd to me, and I can’t say exactly if it’s related to the piece of tech (almost 7 years old) or some ear pressure issues.
On one hand, I think it could be an ear-mold issue – since one ear-mold is built just like it can be seen in the picture and there is a tiny space where earwax can deposit without blocking air (kind of in-built “dead end” – I don’t know how to clean without damaging).
On the other hand, I often have ear-pressure sensation in both ear and I know this may (or may not) be a plausible cause for this, also given that anybody managed to explain why the last in the right ear was flat.
So, it’s been difficult to adjust to this dissonance and I end up wearing only one HAs, which it’s not enough. I hope that anyone else more experienced than me can help me with that.
