Finally got a good fit with the left side, just ordered some new lock replacements and now it's locked in. Thank you!

[@deborahmooney7113]

Thank you so much for your clear directions. Now I know what I am doing. Like another poster this wasn't included in the maintenance instructions.

[@carolynclubine5883]

Thanks for this help. I was really struggling

[@judylake8464]

Thank you for sharing this information. I have Phonax hearing aids, and the proper cleaning and insertion of the retention tails were never covered by the nurse at the clinic where I received my aids. I will look into your other videos regarding my brand. I have subscribed to your channel.

Thank You, I finally found a simple and direct explanation of putting on the anchors. Robert

Thanks. Have wondered how to check if I had put them back on properly. Now I know.

[@sheilashearer6684]

Thanks so much, very helpful.

Thank you very much! I had my Philips hearing aids cleaned but they didn’t fit when they were returned to me. Thank you for saving me a long return trip!

[@dorothybrown8859]

Thank you, thank you. I am a new user. My aids went out to be serviced and when returned the wire sticks straight out. Now I can check to see what if they are installed correctly!

Thank you !!!

Thanks!@

Are these cables the same on Oticon behind the ear HAs?

[@jonathandaniel7424]

Are retention locks brand specific? I have Starkeys but can't find them anywhere, but I do see other brands.

[@courtlandgranger3453]

Does anyone know where I can find the retention tail for Oticon Power 100??? Can’t find!

[@wb7031]

Great except your retention filaments are too small for my Costco hearing aids. Hearing aids are delicate and very expensive devices and even with a magnifying glass and small pliers I couldn’t make the Phonak retainer filament slip over the tip of the heating aid - the part with the numbers. How stupid of me to think that a Phonak filament- though it looks exactly like my old Costco filaments-,would fit my hearing aids. Now I can go online and spend a few hours trying to match my Costco brand with a few dozen other filament brands like yours- but not really like yours.. Thanks a million.

Huh...both of mine were put on differently by the clinic person...but when I put them on the way you show, one side digs into the skin...had to change it back.

[@johnpitre2539]

I believe there are left and right side retention wires or concha locks as my HA professional calls them. And I have seen them use 2 of the same side in a pinch when the other side is out of stock. Hence the odd configuration.
