If you have a silicon, hypoallergetic earmold and still experience
itching, you may want to look for a lotion that helps with itching
caused by earmolds.  I often give a sample of Eargene (from Hal-Hen)
and this usually help.  Contact your audiologist or dispenserr and
see if he or she carries this product.
