do you have any problem using a iPOD/mp3 type device with just the foam earbuds? when you say inserted how far are you talking? after these episodes do you have a metallic aftertaste on your tongue? does it seem like you have to use more salt then you use to in order to get the same taste as you are use to? can you produce the problem by sticking your fingers into your ears? since the probes produced the same effect I don't think it's a 'hearing aid' problem directly.

Please don't worry about it, I haven't reached the required minimum of 15 posts too. hope Admin will not mind me, I uploaded a few information and picture's link on youtube, so you can browse them on youtube.

watch?v=vIjg0RF3NQ0
(copy the code vIjg0RF3NQ0 and paste it after "any youtube video URL watch?v=" and then press enter key)

Basically, the HA eartips/plugs/dome/custom molds are develped to avoid the feedback tone occurred, to change or modify the plug/mold will not change the HA sound quality, if it is possible, please identify which ear mold (i.e. #1, #3, #4....... #30 ) in All American Mold web page is similar to your molds?

when you say inserted how far are you talking?.............I dont really know. Certainly it's about about half way into my ear.

after these episodes do you have a metallic aftertaste on your tongue?
............No!


does it seem like you have to use more salt then you use to in order to get the same taste as you are use to? ............No! I Never add salt to my food.

can you produce the problem by sticking your fingers into your ears?................... No! I cant get my finger far enough into my ear.

since the probes produced the same effect I don't think it's a 'hearing aid' problem directly............Neither do I. The moment the 'probe' caused me to retch, I knew that it was not a HA problem
Thank you for taking the time to input. Am to see a very senior consultant in 2 weeks time with students in attendance. Hey, I might become famous!

please try to view the All American Mold #2 picture (URL below)

If you would like to give it a try, I think you can ask your audiologist to shorten the nubble (as short as possible), and please let me know whether it work (the retching stopped), Thanks.

P.S. a little thing about me:
it is hard to me to learn foreign languages, but I always like to develop something very special.
I developed the world's first and thinnest AM radio in 1983, dimensions: 8 cm x 5 cm x 0.32 cm (in thickness)
In 1992, developed world's first economic RITE (Receiver/Speaker In The Ear, BTE), I sold the patent to a Japanese firm, and approx. 250,000 Japanese users use this HA.
I also study the medical biotechnology (such as hearing hair cell regeneration, cancer treatment etc.) since 1995.

There are essentially no risks involved using a hearing aid. It will make things louder when you use it and probably fit the bill quite nicely.
