Hi everyone, some of you know that i started my hearing loss correction about 6 weeks ago and i’m a diy’er. I just go to audiologist now and then just to solve “problems” i can’t by myself.
I started with a pair of SIGNIA ACTIVE PRO IX and they are really good for my loss and my needs (bluetooth is awsome for calling, music and tv…WOW), and now i bought a pair of Silk 7IX (cic) to wear in some situation like weddings, work, cerimony because they are more stealth. Once at a wedding people mistook me for a security guard because i was wearing my active pro ix 
.
CONNEXXAIR for my signia silk is coming in two-three days.
The HA (cic) i bought online on ebay, arrived pre programmed with mu audiogram by the seller with a vented sleeve configuration so I’ve been able to try them for some time, they are great but i have a question on how to wear them.
when i put my CICs into the era canal I push them all the way down, they are pratically invisible, very impressive, but i feel like there’s something wrong because everything sounds closed, dull, as if I had cotton in my ears. If I pull them out a little everithing sounds normal but just because the HA are a little out from the canal and i think that sounds are passing through the ventilation holes of the sleeves. The HAs are still well fixed in the ear but more visible than before. Is it normal? I thought CIC had to be inserted all the way in, but if i do i can’t wear almost nothing. Maybe i have to try a close/power fit program to benefit the CIC?
let me know your knowlegde, cheers.
