Newer to HAs and I’m trying to figure out receiver wire length and how it relates to fit and performance. The picture shows the default length wires of the oticon real I’m demoing. I don’t love how they sit somewhat on top of my ear and this creates more interference/noise from hats and sunglasses, which I wear all the time as an active outdoors person. On the Starkeys I also am demoing, I have much longer wires, which put the devices pretty much behind my ears so you can’t really see them from the front.
My question is if I need the devices to be more visible from the front (like the picture of me below) for best performance or is it fine to have them tucked further behind my ears.
I also think I’m realizing I need to get my hair cut shorter around my ears to minimize the noise from my hair on the mics…
