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

[Gerardo Corripio]

Fortunately my hearing has maintained steady over the years. I switched 
the molds around just to be sure, and out of the right hearing aid on my 
left ear, I hear great! So fortunately the problem is my hearing aid. 
I'll keep you all posted! Thanks for the positive vibe!
