- Strange thing happened today
  
  By Tommy C · Posted 59 minutes ago
  
  @Jewel I am glad that you got it to work. I have had to realign mine several times. I have tried to put it on when I got up of the morning and instead of attaching it repelled, making attachment impossible. So I just do the realignment procedure periodically to make sure there is proper alignment. My audiologist insist that I use a very weak magnet, so I have a lot of trouble with the Rondo falling off. I have this problem mostly early in the day. My theory is after a night's sleep my internal magnet moved a little. Realignment seems to help that situation some.

  @Mary Beth thanks. I just removed the Rondo 2 and saw that I had attached it in the upright position. I put the Sonnet on my head and it attached ok and I could hear from it. Does that mean the magnet is now realigned or do I have to do what you or Tommy suggested to ensure that it is fully aligned? Thanks @Tommy Cand @Megan L.. I was freaking out!

  @Jewel I have read about and used both of these ways to realign the internal magnet. Easiest to do with your Rondo 2. 1). Place the Rondo 2 on your head with the top at 12:00. While connected to your head turn the Rondo 2 to the 4:00 and then back to the 8:00 position and return to 12:00 position. You may feel the internal magnet realign or hear a sound. (Some say use 10:00 and 2:00 positions instead.) 2) Place the Rondo 2 on your head and while attached rotate it 360 degrees. Start and stop with the top at 12:00 Keep us posted.
