I’m sure some folks will tell me to use “search”, I did and it is all but useless. So here’s question, I have Oticon more 1 miniRITE R ’s, the receiver will not stay in my canals. I’ve used bigger domes without success. My thoughts are that the wire is to short and when I push the HA back behind my ear it pulls on the wire, would a longer wire work? Considering ear molds as my audiologist told me Oticon doesn’t make the rat tail I had with my Signia’s. I would appreciate feedback especially from Oticon users but all comments are welcome. Thank you!

I’m sure it’s not a just a Oticon issue :wink:. I’m trying to get some information on what might work with Oticon’s. I’ve found the search feature to be lacking.

On my Signia I had this plastic wires that fit over the receiver’s that helped hold them in. They worked well!

When you move your to the proper position it should not stretch the wire to the point where it is pulling the receiver out of your ear canal.

Oticon does make ear grips. You have to order per receiver power (85, 60):

Use your eagle eyes (and a magnifying glass) to read the business end of the receiver. It is printed there on one side, along with the size #2 #3, etc on the other side.

No … the printing you’re looking for is on the side of the receiver … not inside it. But it is hard to read without a magnifying glass or loop.

Oticon Opn, Oticon More uses the same miniFit receivers.

ETA: They are also color-coded 85=printed in orange, 60=printed in green
100=printed in black, though there are no eargrips for 100 receivers

Sorry for the above edits. It is difficult to talk about (size 2, 3, etc) and power (60, 85, 100, etc) without referring to both as size. Repeat; the hearing aids are Oticon Opn but Oticon More uses the same miniFit receivers.

I just paid $100 for Oticon MicroShell ear molds purchased and fit by my Audiologist. Took about 7-10 days for Audiologist to receive from Oticon. Haven’t had a chance to pick them up yet

Audiologist took impressions for skeleton ear molds. Replaced the receiver wires with #3 vs #2. Receivers still aren’t staying in as they should. 7-10 days to get the molds, charged me $200. Thanks again for the input :sunglasses:
