I hear about 30% at best. One Dr told me I have a lot of sound recognition loss. I have been trying to find a way to watch TV and play my games with sound. The headsets still don't give me what I need. I am trying the earbud style but there is a problem with those. When I first put them on I put them where I can hear pretty well. After a few minutes though the tend to fall out of my ears. I have large channels and for many years I thought that was the problem with my hearing. The Dr tells me that that usually means the sound is getting in but why not to my eardrums? Well, the earbuds direct the sound to my eardrums but they fall out. My question is is there a liquid rubber to smear on the earbuds that hold them in place? And then is it safe to use in my ears? Please I would very much like to find a way to make these earbuds work as they are the best I have found so far. Awards

Seems one of the easier "helps" would be an awesome headset. My hearing loss is not what yours is, but I've been around others who have had little hearing ability. So sorry about that. My wife and I have looked deeply into alternative remedies. I am not really trusting allopathic care too much, unless I need a bone set. Try researching "alternative hearing care/remedies".

I saw them and wondered! can use vaseoilene as a sealer , only issue need to clean after each use or on the cheap use the foam ear plug by making it a gasket by using a heated paper clip (cherry red) and bore a hole in the center of it and streach over bud dean that may be a issue going to deep in ear canal hench why you have hearing loss the hook is the best option i see so far for your needs sounds may have a hole in ear drum the reason hearing loss Edited June 17 by KaptCrunch Awards
