Research into better ways of creating moulds and the way they sit within the ear ~ Treatment. Making sure the right hearing aid is available not just the aid but the mould. I have now had four moulds in about eighteen months. My ears are not the normal shape. But they cannot supply me with NHS moulds or domes that fit. They hope, I think, that I will go away in exasperation. ~ Can hearing aids be made more comfortable? |
