ear

[whit]

my right ear seems to be muffeld at times, and others it seems to echo when i'm talking , anyone have an idea what's going on, i wear hearing aids.

It could be that the tube or the dome (if you have the behind the ear type) are clogged. Do you have the red plastic rods to clear them? I regularly had this issue with my old NHS ones but my new private ones work much better.

Mine have a wax filter which i have changed, but no difference my ears were clear a fortnight ago.

Hi Whit it is almost certainly a wax problem. Either wax is clogging your hearing canal or it is at the point of where your hearing aids fit in the ear. I have behind the ear type aids and I have to clean the domes regularly or replace them about every couple of months. In addition my aids have wax filters that fit at the end of the tube and receiver and I replace them every month. I hope this helps.

my ears were clear a fortnight a go,i changed the filter but no difference.

Do you have the speaker in the main body behind the ear or in the dome which goes inside the ear?

[whit in reply to MarkS]

It's behind the ear.

[MarkS in reply to whit]

Then are you sure the tube which carries the sound to the ear isn't getting blocked? I have a little rod I use to poke down, and it was reguarly getting a bit blocked. Whenever it did, the sound varied considerably, often "dimming out" for several minutes.

Sorry i got it wrong, the speaker is in the dome in the ear, i changed the filter again and that seems to have done the trick , the last one was maybe faulty ,or i hadn't fit it correctly, thanks for your input.
