Hi Dr. Rose, I have the Jabra aids (from Costco). Looks pretty much the same. I’ve had them for over a year now and I love them. What a difference aids make. Thank you for confirming my thoughts about the removal of the aids. I may be fussy, but I think it’s better to pull the aids out by the retaining wire. That way there’s no strain on the connections. I prefer to clean my aids in the morning or after they’ve been out of my ear for a while because they are dryer. This way the wax flakes off rather than smearing.😊 Yes, wax flakes are around the inside of my case, but they’re not hard to clean with the tip of my finger. (My case has a chamber to hold the earpiece.) BTW, I liked your demonstration of the retaining wire. I didn’t think they would be effective, but you showed that they are. I had been asked by the technician whether I wanted them or not. I told him that I bicycle so he suggested I get them. I can see that was a good idea. Strange thing, I actually had the wire break off the band that attaches it to the aid. My nails must be too long and sharp. Early on I had lost the attachment band completely. I don’t know how that happened. Also early on, one of my hoods tore.
Excellent video! Thank you very much

By the way, your production is excellent, especially considering that you’re just using your phone(?).
