[NFB-DB] Hearing aids that fall out?

[marsha.drenth at gmail.com]

How do you know what size of tubing you need? And can you please provide the link for where you purchase your hearing aid tubing.

 

Thank you,

If you behind the ear aids with tubing from the aid to the ear mold, there are different gauges of tubing. Often, the audiologist will have cheaper, thinner tubing which flops or the tubing is cut too long. This can be adjusted to keep it stiffer and just the right length to stay in place. It used to happen to me a lot despite me asking for thicker tubing and to cut it shorter. I finally started buying my own tubing from Lloyds Hearing online and doing it myself. After 50 years of deafness, I can do cleaning and routine repairs myself. lol
