Getting a new hearing aid mold

[RiverBirch1967]

@deafculture17 I just googled it and wow! I wish my hearing was good enough that I could use one of those. I use a power aid, the loudest there is, so it's huge. lol

[RiverBirch1967]

@deafculture17 What is an "open fit" aid?

im getting a hearing aid mold done on thursday. watching this video has put my mind at ease. i thought it might hert. thank you

[RiverBirch1967]

@LLOYD19851012 You are very welcome. :) First they will put a tiny piece of cotton in your ear, deep in, with a string attached, then put in the putty and viola! It actually feels really good. Let me know how your experience goes.

That's fascinating, I had no idea of the procedure. The putty mold kind of reminds me of polyfiller used to fill cracks in walls etc...if you know what I mean lol. Did it feel good? Did you get a bowl of icecream afterwards? You know my tonsils story. :)

[RiverBirch1967]

@sainter1  It is really a good feeling. Very smooth and cool. I like getting them.

I actually did that to get ear plugs since I get ear infections so easily. I'm supposed to wear them anytime I go in water (bath, shower, etc) but I don't.

@VioletKitty411  Girlfriend, do what you are told! :P

[DawndeeDALLAS]

wow cool!

[RiverBirch1967]

@DawndeeDALLAS  Totally!

[RiverBirch1967]

@gemycat  hehehe

I always found earbuds for portable sound systems terribly uncomfortable... Here's the solution!

[RiverBirch1967]

@fehquig There you go, fehquig, there you go!

[PaintedRavensong]

Wow...I had no idea that they were molded like that. That is something!

[RiverBirch1967]

@PaintedRavensong It is very interesting. You leave it in your ear about 5 minutes and then it takes about 5 minutes to 'set' once they take it out. Feels so good, too, all cool and smooth.

[unrequited2]

Eww, that looks all kinds of gross and uncomfortable! How does it feel when they do that?!!!

[RiverBirch1967]

@unrequited2 It actually feels absolutely wonderful. The putty is cool and smooth and nice. It is soothing and feelings really good.

hehe i love the end oh sorry we got some wax too..hehe

I bet that felt funny huh...

[RiverBirch1967]

@ralanizjr ROFL!!! I know! I'm like oh geez. But it feels really good getting it done. The putty is cool and smooth and soft. It feels very good in the ear.

[seekgeo]

Ohhhh new molds coming up!!! Can't wait to see how it looks, when will it be ready?

[RiverBirch1967]

@seekgeo Two weeks! yay! I wanted baby blue but decided to go ahead with normal.

[seekgeo]

RiverBirch1967,

Aww.. I used to have blue ones back in late 1990's and it was very loud blue. People can see 'em 3 miles away.

[RiverBirch1967]

@seekgeo Know what I want? One of those shiny new hearing aid covers. Like race-car hearing aids!!!!!

[oldvision]

You were such a good girl to sit still. Where's your lolly?

[RiverBirch1967]

@oldvision LOL Yes I was a very good girl. Forget the lolly, I want a margarita.
