No I never noticed that they did. I can barely feel them in my ear. They don’t itch. But I do get ear ache after wearing them a few hours. My Audi has no idea what is causing this. You replied to my post on CIC’s being good for my hearing loss and I thank you. I am now wearing custom ear molds but am having feedback in the left aid and I have a problem with wind noise. Widex are sending me the CIC’s to try them. I don’t have any problems with ear wax. I love the sound of these hearing aids but I hate having ear ache all the time.
