The experience so far shows I definitely need moulds for that closed seal to feed sounds properly otherwise it’s almost tinny/high sounding and almost.allows those low sounds to escape.

I had custom silicone molds made by ReSound so that I could wear my Omnia 962s (size 13 battery) with M&RIE receivers. The molds are rather large, but they work very well to control feedback and to enhance bass by not letting it escape my ears when streaming. IIRC, a Costco HCP told me that their molds are also made by the respective HA OEM. I had my molds made with Select-A-Vent and am currently using a no-hole vent plug. I don’t mind the occlusion, and I really enjoy being able to block low-frequency noise as well as possible - less of a concern with your greater low-frequency loss.

ReSound Omnias with M&RIE Receivers

I took and labeled some pictures of my right ReSound Omnia M&RIE MP receiver mold vs. the original ReSound Quattro mold made for regular MP receivers. Unfortunately, the original mold has yellowed and lost transparency a bit with age, so it’s hard to see the receiver and vent tube channels inside the mold. Two distinct differences between the molds. The M&RIE receiver vent tube in the ear canal is nowhere near the opening for the receiver in the ear canal. In the Quattro mold for a standard …

ReSound Omnias with M&RIE Receivers

Here’s a picture of my right ear wearing the ReSound M&RIE receiver in a custom mold made for my right ear. The mic on the M&RIE receiver can be seen on the receiver just below where the wire enters the receiver and the mic is surrounded on all sides by the lip on the mold opening and recessed a few mm into that opening. The molds are actually very translucent silicone. The dark appearance is from the relative darkness of my interior ear canal. (Click on image to enlarge). [ReSound MRIE R…

Your loss seems a bit outside the fitting range of the M&RIE receivers at 2 kHz. I’m very happy with the Omnias equipped with the M&RIE receivers. I’m entering day 9 running on my initial set of 13 batteries and hope to make it to 2 weeks!
