[NFB-DB] Left hearing aid sometimes sounds with static what might it be?

[Janice Toothman]

Gerardo,

Also, you might need to consider that your hearing has probably changed 
since then as well.  This could be part of the problem. Your audiologist 
can test your hearing if this has not been done since you received these 
hearing aids.  This might give you additional information on what your 
best course of action should be.  I wish you good luck.
