I have Oticon hearing aids for quite a few years. First with the Oticon OPN and now the “More” model in Mini RITE. My audiogram is in my profile but also embedded here:
Since I have had some feedback issues in past when something gets close to my ears (eg. playing by with my kids and wearing over the ear headphones), she perceived me awhile ago custom earmolds… not sure what they are technically called but here’s a photo:
I’ve always wondered whether these are the right molds for my hearing loss. I don’t believe my hearing loss at low frequencies is that much so wonder if I should be plugging my ears as much as these molds do since it means I’m now losing the natural hearing of the low frequencies.
I wonder if just for feedback management she did this as a simple fix vs another solution (in worst case, a different brand HA that has different feedback control for my case?).
So much knowledge here in this community I wanted some input.
