Resound One upgrade to M&RIE

I recently bought some Resound One 61 hearing aids and mistakenly assumed that they were all M&RIE but they are RIC. Can I upgrade mine by changing out to the M&RIE wire?

Yes you can change them if you want, but just be sure that your suitable at your hearing loss, they do have a limit, mostly mild/moderate. You’ll need to reprogram to suit as well.

If you just change the receivers, the hearing aids will ignore the microphone in the ear canal. So as @tenkan says, you will need the aids to be reprogrammed.

Also depending on your loss, the M&RIE might actually be worse. That might be why your audiologist didn’t fit them.
