If the receivers are molded into the ear molds I don’t think they can be reused.

You are absolutely correct, Chuck, I totally missed that.
My new molds are also of the sealed receiver type.

I sent my receivers back for longer wires and new moulds.

So, they can’t 3D print a new set of molds with the longer wires, and put new receivers in going on 3 weeks?

Well, I can’t, which is why they had to be sent back to the lab, I guess.

I don’t think it’s that big a deal, given the technology they have. I found this Sonova video interesting:

we may be losing our Chief Oticonian in the process, as well!

“Chief Oticonian” … :star_struck: Hmmm! It does have a certain ring to it, don’t it? Sorta rolls off the tongue! :drooling_face:

Chapter Five: The Oticon Slow Boat Has Arrived!

I guess this will be my final post on this subject, since:

  1. My new 100dB moulds/receivers were delivered today, and they are perfect.
  2. The moulds fit so well that I literally cannot feel them in my ear canal.
  3. The receiver wires are now the correct length, allowing the and their microphones to sit correctly and comfortably behind my ears.
  4. The fitment/tuning of the HAs now matches the strength of the receivers, so - no more feedback issues - and the sound is awesome!
  5. Oticon sent along a hand-written card apologizing for the delivery delay, which I appreciate (although I have yet to be apprised of what circumstances caused a 7-10 business day turnaround to morph into 17. I suppose I may never know.)

So … it’s amazing what a huge difference to the performance of my hearing instruments that the correct matching of receivers to settings makes.

These Oticon More1s really are the
:honeybee: Bees’Knees :honeybee:.

[Another member has speculated that @cvkemp Chuck might be enjoying better results than me, but I don’t think that’s possible. I just can’t post any comparisons to emphasize the differences I am noticing because I refuse to put down my old Unitron North Moxi Fit 800s on the grounds that they were incompetently fitted.]

I will, however, stick to my original assessment of these Oticon More devices: they represent a genuinely life-changing improvement in hearing and speech comprehension for me because of the fact that:

A. I very much like the Oticon OpenSound concept, and
B. The instruments are correctly tuned to treat my unique hearing deficiency.

I may not hear fairies singing from behind the red honeysuckle berries, but: I HEAR and UNDERSTAND HerSelf®️, which is, in itself, a little gift from heaven!
