New hearing aid user here. Bought the Jabra Enhance Pro 20’s at Costco Friday. Fitter put me in the M@RIE receivers with medium solid domes. Had lot’s of feedback, so he changed to large solid domes.
I wore the aids 10 hours on Saturday and Sunday. I felt like I had ear plugs in all day long. Right ear kept popping, like when you go up in airplane. Very uncomfortable, kept moving it around trying to find comfortable position.
Left ear is painful, feels like an oversized pebble is in my ear canal. If I pull the receiver out a tad, it quits hurting for five or ten minutes, then back to painful. I feel like maybe I’m inserting the aids too far in, but not sure how far they should be.
To be honest, I’ve been so uncomfortable wearing these things, I haven’t really been able to focus on whether they’re helping with hearing quality.
So, is this normal to go through growing pains? How long before it eases up? I go back in a couple of weeks for a follow-up. Just thought I’d ask here of you knowledgeable folks in the meantime.
Thanks.
