Sizes of Phonak Titanium Molds and recommendations

Hearing Aids

I have cShell molds on my Phonak Spheres
Want to get a second set - and not confident that the cShells were as long as they should have been? They don’t seem to go in as deep as others I have had, and would like to be able shut off unaided noise better. Also, my cShells seem to be above level, not flush with my ear… Not a critical issue, but weird in a world where unobtrusiveness is the goal.

So figure I would try the Titaniums.
Three questions:
Are the titanium molds and the slim tips the same things?
Where can I find the five or six lengths of the molds that I once read about and refresh my understanding of what would work best for my hearing?
If I want the longest … would the existing impressions Phonak has from two months ago, suffice, or would I need special deeper impressions ?

No. SlimTimps can be titanium and cShell as well. See “Custompedia” or something similar on forum.

I’m not sure what do you mean? I haven’t heard about “five and six lengths…”.

Depend how long previous impressions were. It should be make impression as deep as possible, at least 5 mm past second bend, achieving bony part of ear canal.

I’ll include few stuffs about it later:

EDIT:

See the links and images in my post:

Please keep in mind that UP receiver may be too large for deep placement in your ear canals.

Theoretically, the closer the receiver is to eardrum, the less powerful it could be, but IIRC this rule works only for lower frequencies rather such as <1000 Hz. Maybe @Um_bongo or @Neville could correct me if I am wrong.

Is the Lace AI pro a software tool to practice improving your listening and comprehension ?

I have not bought it yet, but strongly consider it.
