Best deal I could find with all the bells and whistles and there was a FULL 6 MONTH REFUND for any reason. The customer service was /is great as I have had to go back a few times for some fine tuning and they are there for any assistance I need with questions or more fine tuning.
I wore them ALL DAY every day for almost 2 years then the inside of my ears started itching/tickling (both ears)after a few hours when wearing them. So much itching/tickling that I’d take them out and try again the next day. SAME PROBLEM AROSE. In talking with other hearing aid wearers some said the same thing and recommended I put a drop of Baby Oil in my ears. I tried and it kinda sorta worked, maybe letting me wear them for an additional few hours?
SO, I have made an appointment with an ear specialist to see what is going on and if there is anything wrong with my ears (besides not working). My regular doctor suggested I go to an established hearing aid shop in San Carlos and see if maybe my “all the way in the ear hearing aids” are not right for me and maybe look at some others that fit like the Apple Ear Pods.
