Skeleton molds for RIC
I was just wondering if anyone here has experience with either fitting or wearing a skeleton mold with a RIC device. I am currently wearing the moxi pros and have been for almost three months and while I love the sound quality I am having great difficulties with retention. I am on my fourth custom mold as well as the domes that I tried, and have yet to find a solution. I find the sound is great if I push the molds into my ears and then hold them there, but as soon as I let go they seem to slip out and I expereince feedback. The molds I have tried have all been acrylic, and the last two have also had a canal lock. My audiologist has suggested that I either try a skeleton mold, or switch to a cic aid, but I have concerns about both options. I am having trouble finding any information about pairing a RIC with a skeleton mold, and am concerned that I would have the same retention problems with a cic.
If anyone has any information or suggestions they would be greatly apprteciated. Thanks!
Also the audiologist has told me that I have about the same size ear canals as an average five year old.
