Need new mold - free of charge. Did not fit right- every audiologists I went to will do fitting again. It’s on them always. I am a candidate for cochlear implant. . I am holding off as long as I can. My old 15 year old aids are failing. But I am mostly retired. I handled as best I can. Tcoils connect with loops- wiring that with aids have tcoils ( Amtrak has them, Meetings with fellow loss folks - almost like a fm receiver) Bluetooth is different and a lot of audiologists telling folks to have that rather than tcoils. No way

I encourage you NOT to put off going the CI route if you are a candidate. I waited a long time before getting a CI. I watched others I knew who had gotten them with awe. Still I waited. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. It made a positive difference in my work life, although I was only a few years short or retirement. then. It has made an incredible difference in my ability to enjoy my grandchildren.
