Itching in the ear canal caused by hearing aids. Solutions?
Hearing Loss | Last Active: May 1, 2023 | Replies (12)Comment receiving replies
I have hearing aids behind the ear. They are connected to custom ear molds that fit around the inside of my ear like an open clear plastic semi circular shape. Nothing goes into my ear canal except a small insert that does not block the ear canal so the air can get in hence no moisture, wetness or itching. I love them. I never notice them when I put them on and they aren’t noticeable in terms of appearance at all.

Hi 'Willows', I also wear BTE's, Bi-Cross hearing aids......Deaf in right ear, measles at three, the 'right side hearing aid' is a 'transmitter' of sound that goes to my 'good ear', which isn't so good anymore, I'm 81..!!, So the 'bad' side only needs the earmold for anchorage. I have been getting a fungal infection, in my 'good' ear, three times in the last three years.......trying to keep my 'good ear' protected from moisture....my 'ear mold' has been causing awful itching lately since recovering from fungal infection....Where in the heck did you find the ear molds you wear, my audiologist knows of my problem but never mentioned them........Hope I hear from you 🙂 Julie
