Father says hearing aids are too big for ear canal and hurt. Looking for insight on custom tips and cost.
My father got hearing aids from Costco and they put on the smallest silicone tips but he refuses to wear them saying that his ear canals are too small and that even the smallest tips hurt.
I know next to nothing about hearing aids. If he were to go to an audiologist would they be able to custom fit tips to his existing hearing aids? Would they potentially still hurt his ears? What is the average cost (for one pair, assuming he has insurance but would also be good to know the out of pocket cost)? If they’re a few hundred, I’d be willing to spend the money to see if they help.
I fear if we can’t figure this out for him, he will deteriorate quickly without his hearing. Thank you in advance.
