“Chief Oticonian” … 
Hmmm! It does have a certain ring to it, don’t it? Sorta rolls off the tongue!

Chapter Five: The Oticon Slow Boat Has Arrived!
I guess this will be my final post on this subject, since:
- My new 100dB moulds/receivers were delivered today, and they are perfect.
- The moulds fit so well that I literally cannot feel them in my ear canal.
- The receiver wires are now the correct length, allowing the HAs and their microphones to sit correctly and comfortably behind my ears.
- The fitment/tuning of the HAs now matches the strength of the receivers, so - no more feedback issues - and the sound is awesome!
- Oticon sent along a hand-written card apologizing for the delivery delay, which I appreciate (although I have yet to be apprised of what circumstances caused a 7-10 business day turnaround to morph into 17. I suppose I may never know.)
So … it’s amazing what a huge difference to the performance of my hearing instruments that the correct matching of receivers to settings makes.
These Oticon More1s really are the
Bees’Knees .
[Another member has speculated that @cvkemp Chuck might be enjoying better results than me, but I don’t think that’s possible. I just can’t post any comparisons to emphasize the differences I am noticing because I refuse to put down my old Unitron North Moxi Fit 800s on the grounds that they were incompetently fitted.]
I will, however, stick to my original assessment of these Oticon More devices: they represent a genuinely life-changing improvement in hearing and speech comprehension for me because of the fact that:
A. I very much like the Oticon OpenSound concept, and
B. The instruments are correctly tuned to treat my unique hearing deficiency.
I may not hear fairies singing from behind the red honeysuckle berries, but: I HEAR and UNDERSTAND HerSelf®️, which is, in itself, a little gift from heaven!
