Can custom ear molds help with feedback issues in hearing aids?

Custom ear moulds can significantly reduce feedback issues in hearing aids. Feedback, the whistling sound that occurs when sound leaks out of the ear canal and is re-amplified by the hearing aid, is often a result of poor fit. Custom ear moulds are designed to fit snugly in the ear canal, creating a tight seal that prevents sound leakage. This seal improves the overall quality and minimizes the chances of feedback. Custom ear moulds are particularly beneficial for individuals with severe hearing loss who require more amplification as they allow for higher volume settings without causing feedback.
