Hearing Aids

In the ear models pop out and you lose them too. My brother in-law lost his. I need some but haven't made the leap because there are just so many questions. Not as bad as my neighbor. He called a guy about a manure spreader he was going to look at and ended up in the wrong town 2 hours in the wrong direction because he misunderstood the guy on the phone. He got to the town he thought was right and found the street the guy named, it was a common name alot of city streets have. When he couldn't find it he called the guy and found out he was in the wrong town.

The temples on over the ear models tend to make the hearing aids ride up on your ear and mine have literally made one ride up so high it fell to the ground,,,just a good thing it was on carpet and not at the lake,,,  These are a name brand name models and don't want to trash them. They have Bluetooth to my IPhone and that comes in mighty handy.   My main issue is there are times when I get the sensation that they are blocking all the sounds and only magnifying some others,,,,?? kinda hard to explain,but is becoming quite uncomfortable to the point it sounds like I'm in a tunnel,,,??  I'm now wondering if some in the ear models is what I need,,,,???  Any thoughts and comments,,,,???

I don’t like mine either.
I keep them in a little box on the nightstand and they stay there.
I know it’s not fair to my better half but I really don’t care for them.

I have over the ear type, when arrived first time on the ENT doc had to change the wire to the ear piece as were too short, rode UP on my ear and I did wear glasses at the time, no longer need. Did a hearing test with them on and then computer adjusted the tone I was not getting. No Tunnel sensation, hear a lot more than used to, but a BIG However, when in large gatherings or restaurants or events I will at times just turn them off and pocket as the distractive all around noise becomes too much.

In the ear models so far Cannot be made dialable to specific tones, become just amplifiers to every noise per my ENT doc.

Yes, you need longer wire  that go from hearing aid to the ear and then they will stay down where they belong
