Reading all the previous comments really inspired me to jump in. I have profound hearing loss, and I’m a true fan of good ear molds. And I’m certain that there are many who have other preferences. Message: seek out whatever feels like it’s working best for you. It’s your hearing and body else can experience it. It might take time to try different setups, but it’s absolutely worth the effort. Invest in yourself, not necessarily with money but definitely with time. Most audiogists let you try different hearing aids. Do it. You’ll spend an extra few weeks, but you’re worth it. Trying out ear molds vs domes vs in canal might be a bit more complicated, just because ear molds are made individually, but even so. Ask for the opportunity. When you finish, you’ll feel much more confident. And you’ll have hearing aids that fit well for your needs.

Good advice and I am a stickler about my hearing aid molds as they make all rhe difference in the world.
I now insist they be made only by Westone.
I also retube my aids and change rhe ear hooks about every 6 months or so because the damper in the hook deteriorates and affects sounds No vents for my molds . It pays to be knowledgeable about the aids you choose and service them like you would your car.
