New hearing aids dont fit/uncomfortable?
LovesLife. LovesMusic <3 asked:
I have worn hearing aids my whole life, but in the past have opted for private ones, as they were more discreet, in the ear, and as a kid I was really conscious of them. (Plus, if need be, they could go louder.) Ive now got alternative NHS models, as they have improved alot over 10 years, :D. But they are really uncomfy, and the right one doesnt even fit in my ear properly?! Any help? (: x

Although it really depends on the degree of hearing loss you have, you may want to look into open fit BTE hearing aids as they offer a more natural organic fit and feel. The are more ideal for mild to moderate hearing losses; however, reciever-in-the-canal hearing aids offer a similar open fit with slightly more power and can fit up to moderately-severe.
I am not familiar with NHS models but there are many options out there to improve fit. If you currently wear custom hearing aids, they can be adjusted so they fit more comfortable. I would check out the following on hearing aid styles and to read more on the optios out there:.
Also there is a new product by Unitron that is a CIC fused with open-fit BTE technology, allowing a small fit with the open fit comfort:
