With CIC's you'll have less of a choice for mold design... Have you asked your audiologist to inform you what materials are in the molds? There are different substance variations of the materials that are used for the molds.

Welcome to allhearing! I don't have experience with Siemens' CIC but it seems to be fitted for your loss range. I think most CIC's are good to accompany up to moderate loss (60dB tops). But it'll really depend on the frequencies you need to be aided with. You can try it out, they might have...

Does anyone have any experiences with how to keep BTE's from flying around when doing certain exercises like running?

Depending on your employment status, you can check with the Department of Vocal Rehabilitation in your state. Not all states do this, but some fund deaf/hard of hearing on hearing aids, finding employment, and maybe even college courses.

Hmm, just ate dinner and thinking if I want to make some more hot water.

I've learned ASL for 4 years or so. I took ASL1 that was taught by a hearing parent of a deaf child who was raised by ASL. The rest of the years are from meeting people and interpreters. If you really wanted to, you could learn ASL from just meeting deaf people often without having to pay a...
