javapride said:thats a good post and i agree with you and think that would be great to have... having our own supplies and knowing how to measure our hearing aid would make an easier time for us to go get it done quick rather then driving to the audioolgist office. hummm that is a very good question
have you checked out google? to see if they might have the suppilies?
pintnight said:Not sure where to ask this. But, does anybody know where I can order a supply or roll of the tube for the ear mold to connect it to the hearing aid? I would like to replace the tube myself when the tube dries out and get hard.
Lavender said:I did ask my audie for the tubing I need another extra, in case of emergency that I might need it so badly if it's smthg happened to my tubing damage torn apart, it already dries up cracked by itself that way I don't have to come back again. She said no, that I can't buy one until I have to come back after for only a short months, it makes me so mad tired of going back/forth.
i love that idea.. LOL but those tubes seems too big to me... since i own one toosequoias said:I use radio controlled nitro gas powered car gas line tube, it's very sturdy and hard to break and it works great as a hearing aid tube. They're cheaper than the tubes they sell and they don't last long. You can never run out of ideas.

i did a google search the last time for hearing aid tubes and went through several sites and found a couple and i have ordered a pack of 6 at a time. Now i dont have to live in fear of harden tubes that cracks and leaks. IF it get too hard for my liking, i just swap it out since having my own supply is nice. its cheap too. Its alot easier then call your HA place and setup an appt , or even if he let you do a same day walk in, i hate the hassle of driving there just for one freaking tube.
That price is better then here in Klamath Falls,ORI would still love to figure out where the audiologist is getting the supply from. I would rather just by the spool and then I can buy a heater to be able to shape the tube. For me to spend $20.00 for both hearing aids seems to be ridiculous amount of money to pay for that (I know, you have to pay for the time that the audie putting on the new tube, but they always having to end up have to keep cutting it shorter or pull the tube in more into the mold that I just give up and do the rest at home to make the tube right).
