Uncomfortable hearing aids

The one thing that causes people to hesitate to wear their hearing aids is when they are uncomfortable. Whether it be pressure in the ear or conflicts with the spectacles behind the ear it may reduce the amount you wear the devices.

There are many simple and quick solutions to alleviate these issues. For example the buds or ear molds that go into your ear can be changed or modified. There are literally thousands of ear tip configurations that can be used. It is one advantage of seeing a independent hearing clinic, they will have access to many and varied products.

Generally a hearing clinic will also have a repair laboratory on site, this means that physical modifications can be made on site.

If the problem is behind the ear then you can look at low profile devices or even change to completely in the ear devices. These are all options to make your hearing better and more comfortable.
