Hello! Hoping to Share UPDATES in data on Hearing Loss

I can relate to the effectiveness of cast mold ear pieces. I have worn ear molds for over 60 years. I recently wanted to try a hearing assisted (analog low cost) aid as an emergency device when my digital aids needed repair. I found one that had sufficent power for my severe hearing loss. The dones supplied did not provide full sound intensity and had lots of feedback. When I replaced the dome with one of my spare ear molds, the replacement aids worked very well albeit less than my digital aids. Thus they provided an adequate backup for my regular, much more expensive aids.

@miker8888 Those of us who have been using hearing aids for decades have a pretty good perspective of how technology works and changes. Your experience with domes mirrors mine. I knew quickly they weren't going to replace the custom ear molds for me.

Having an emergency back up for the HAs you usually use is a good idea. What device did you use to create that back up? Were you able to simply replace the dome with an earmold?
