Solving Fit and Comfort Issues with Your Hearing Aids

Proper fit is essential for effective hearing aid performance and long-term comfort. If your devices feel loose, painful, or irritating, this guide offers practical solutions.

1. Hearing Aids Slipping Out

• Try different dome sizes or earmould types.

• Use retention locks or sport clips.

• Avoid applying hair products before wearing hearing aids.

2. Ear Discomfort or Soreness

• Make sure hearing aids are inserted correctly.

• Avoid wearing them for extended periods initially—gradually increase time.

• Consider a custom earmould for a more secure fit.

3. Itching or Irritation

• Clean devices regularly with appropriate tools.

• Use hypoallergenic domes if you have sensitive skin.

• Avoid over-insertion and ensure proper lubrication if advised.

Persistent discomfort may require a re-fitting session or custom mould impressions.
