my ha :)

AliciaM · 06-29-2008, 02:05 PM

I thought it was weird to see my ha from others point of view! But i think it looks not too bad!

Bottesini · 06-29-2008, 02:59 PM

Years ago I had skeleton earmolds like that. It hurt and caused me to get constants infections. Now I have a gel mold. I think it is silicon. Much easier and comfortable. I put a picture. The aids are just in Ear Gear covers. I have a big collection of these.

Jiro · 06-29-2008, 03:00 PM

skeleton ear mold.... interesting... never seen that before

AliciaM · 06-29-2008, 03:00 PM

I love your ear gears..i would prolly get pink

My audi said that ppl get a lot of sweat issues and dry ear canals with the silicon ones and that loss is ok to have hard mold...i dont mind it! sry u had trouble with it tho!

Vivie · 06-29-2008, 06:57 PM

Nice HA Alicia

skeleton earmoulds aren't giving a lot of whistling and feedback ? I don't know about these , as nobody here wears these...I'm just curious!!

AliciaM · 06-29-2008, 07:13 PM

Thanks vivie!! I have never gotten feedback unless I lean against my ha on a pillow or something. I dunno maybe it is more of a canadian thing? i dunno but i've never had any probs with them! and they don't get itchy really ..sometimes i have to take it out for a min or too to scratch inside but then i stick em back in

JennyB · 06-29-2008, 09:57 PM

I have hard skeleton molds right now. I used to have soft skeleton molds but I was allergic to them. I have some feedback issues with them though, keep in mind my loss is 105dB-120dB up to 1000Hz and then no response beyond that. My aids are LOUD! I am going to get full shell molds sometime next month. Whenever I can get to my audie after work!

AliciaM · 06-29-2008, 10:47 PM

that sucks u have feedback issues! thats good ur gonna get new molds!..i almost got pink ones when i got my new ones..but i was too chicken

SkullChick · 06-30-2008, 02:49 PM

its mini BTE thats why you see black back panel of my processor

Pinky · 06-30-2008, 05:41 PM

You can talk to your audiologist about your earmold allergy. I think it's best for you to get a Hypoallergenic for earmold.

I got a link for you.

There have 3 different kinds of material for earmold. Like
* Acrylic Materials
* Vinyl (Polyvinylchloride)
* Silicone Materials

Silicone Materials :: Westone

only feedbacking sometimes, like Alicia says when lay on pillow and if I dodge a punch from women angry at me.

J/K bout last one. Nah I think they r ok, pretty comfortable. I havent had complication with them even for high power gain

That is what I thought, I have silicone because of allergies. They are much better for me. Way less problems than before.

I decorate my aids differently everyday! I have a bunch of sticky-backed rinestones that I use, or I make stickers that cover the whole thing to match any outfit or a theme of some sort!

hohDougRN · 07-02-2008, 12:42 AM

do the stickers leave residue or anything? Not that I want to use stickers cuz....well...I just wouldn't, but I do like couple diff colours to have option...kinda like same blue to match the blue shade of my eyes- and I like blue clothes, or yellow...kinda goofy...sorry

Oh. I got it! HA stand for Hearing Aid. Lolz. Silly me. As far as I know...I have the whole in the ear canal hearing aid. So there isn't much decorating to do on it. Hehehe.

DeafPenPal

hohDougRN · 07-02-2008, 02:45 AM

yes, those of us with our BTE's or CI BTE's can get a variety of colors/ designs to suit ones desires to express themselves and turn their HA's into somewhat of a fashion accessory to themselves. Nope, you cant realy do that stuff with in the ear stuff.

Pinky · 07-02-2008, 11:56 AM

lilitalia89, I forget to see your HA picture. Oops! LoL Your HA is look pretty not weird! Your bte is match on your hair. I would like to get a black or pink bte. I wish for BTE have clear pink. I has a dark brown hair. I thought my BTE is weird but it's okay.

Speaking of HA fashion, I looked around the internet and found one website which has a picture of Gold Hearing Aid. Lolz. This Gold Hearing Aid does has something sparkling on it.
