Two. Open-choice hearing aids
Generally speaking, open earbuds are made of medical-grade silicone material, which rarely produces allergic reactions, and the ear canal itching may be the length or size of the sound tube. Whether it is a sound tube or an external receiver type, it is very important to choose a suitable sound tube, an unsuitable sound tube will not only affect the wearing effect of the hearing aid, but also lead to wearing discomfort, the length is too short will cause pressure on the **, and the length is too long The hearing aid is easy to fall.
If the earbuds are not the right size and cause the user's ears to be stuffy or itchy, change the earbud size or change the different types of earbuds, or make custom earbuds. If the depth and size are appropriate, the user still complains of irritation, and the appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the earbuds may help, and some users are allergic to ear canal cleaners, and some users are not suitable for wearing standard earplugs due to the shape of the ear canal.
