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 <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Thu, Feb 9, 2023 at 5:24 AM jmail201586--- via NFB-DB <<a href="mailto:nfb-db@nfbnet.org">nfb-db@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Yeah so that’s my question.
