today I returned to the Hearing Life store where we purchased my hearing aids .... a while back the lady we deal with made molds from which to make custom ear pieces .... have worn them for about an hour and can't help but be impressed .... as should be expected, they form a much better seal in the ear canal .... less (make that much less) background noise .... much clearer sound .... most noticeably, much louder sound that is going to take some getting used to .... my initial reaction is very favorable .... another appoiintment is scheduled for about a month at which time any adjustments that may be necessary will be made

Hope the new molds work out. Yes it is an adjustment to hear sounds that you haven't heard for some time.

Got new aids today. Jabra this time. Getting used to the new App but think they will work out just fine. Highs are sharper but my hearing has changed some and I am adapting pretty quickly. Sent the other pair in for a warranty service before it expires so I will have backups if something should happen.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Depends on how much yelling you can take from the head of the house. I finally cried Uncle and went and got some. I did have some issues at first with the aids but the lady at Costco who fit me to begin with was golden when it came to customer service. It is nice to be able to hear things I havent for quite a while

How old were the ones you sent in for warranty service Ernie? Wasnt aware of the warranty service part. Mine have a 3 year warranty 2 years of that is free replacement if lost or broken. Mine are the Jabra and I see the price has gone down about 200.00

3 year warranty ends in December. Got them back in one week. Now have a good spare pair. Costco does not accept insurance but I sent the required documents into BCBS and I am being reimbursed for the entire amount.
