Hi everyone,
I am now looking to change my hearing aids next year (summer). I am wondering if there is such a set-up as a small bte with a thin tube (no earhook) and an earmold. Reason being is right now I am in a RIC hearing aid with domes. I want to switch to a BTE with earmolds but I don’t want to have the earhooks. I wear glasses and I don’t want too much crowding above my ears.
Thanks for the insights as usual!
Phonak aids Target software shows BTE aids with slimtubes and earmolds.
I am also considering going from RICs to BTEs with slimtubes on the chance that they may work better for my hearing loss (which appears a lot different from yours).
I have never been able to wear domes. Right now, my RICs have custom full shell earmolds, which work quite well for me. As far as I know, all the manufacturers offer various styles of molds for standard tubes, slimtubes or receivers.
