Yeah Peter, the “Loud’s” can be a bit harsh on the ears with NAL NL2, IMO, especially for some reason with Marvel aids, less so with Paradise, and almost nonexistent in Lumity… I am having problems with my ear hook dampers again on my Naida Lumity’s, I was taking my wife up to Inverness today, on the way up, I had the gradual feeling of going deaf again, I was struggling really badly with her voice, so I dropped my wife off at hospital, she was getting a small procedure done, it would take 4 hours or so, so I headed off to Dingwall, to buy my Salmon Fishing Permit, and buy a new Stiga 4x4 (out front) ride on mower, a big outlay, (my old ride on mower is kaput) but I have a large garden, luckily beforehand, I had researched the Ride On Mower, so there wasn’t much call to listen to the salesman pitch, I know him well, I wasn’t hearing him anyway told him my requirements, he showed me the options on the PC, I picked the one I researched, transaction must have taken 10 minutes max, out the door, and over £6k lighter than I went in, things are so expensive nowadays! Anyway, back to hospital to pick up the wife, by this time, I am hearing virtually zero, got back to the car, borrowed one of my wife’s loop earrings, to fish out the white dampers on both ear hooks…Success, I could now hear again! The moral of that story, is perhaps, those dampers are a real PITA, and that’s the last time I use them, they keep solidifying with moisture, and blocking the ear hooks up, gradually until I am hearing absolutely nothing… Cheers Kev
