Oticon intent 1-R fell out

I’m new here and pretty basic. I very clearly had both hearing aids in correctly. At the movies, hearing aid fell out. I found it in hair. Any suggestions? This is not even with walking or running, I simply do not wish to pay close to 400 dollars for lost hearing aid that do easily falls out. I cannot get in touch with audio or their help desk , which is an an additional problem overall. Frankly I should make another topic on this matter.

I have big Ultra Power Oticon Aids and when I wear my hair down (I’m female), my hearing aids can get caught in my hair even when I don’t move.

Wearing such a small device and likely you’re wearing domes, they can fall out more easily if getting caught in your hair.

I wear Oticon INTENT1 aids with custom ear molds. I keep my hair military buzz cut short, something I have done my whole life. I haven’t had issues keep my aids in place. The ear molds are such they definitely stay in place.

Thanks-Precisely I have domes.I’m willing to get some sort of retainer or attachment. Do you know if there is such a thing.?

It’s my understanding that dome allow more ambient sound for those with mild hearing loss. But yes I understand that molds may be more stable.

I started out wearing ITE aids, I did have a set of aids 15 years a go with domes for 30 days, I told my audiologist to get me ear molds or a set of ITE aids. The domes flat won’t stay in place.

@docspaniel

Do you have the Oticon Ear Grips attached? They are the tails in the picture.

I believe Altho not 100% sure they aren’t standard on Oticon HAs.
