TommyT Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 It is a leash from a RONDO 1. They attached to a pair of small holes on the side and the loop held it secure. On RONDO 2, open the rubber port on the bottom, loop the loop around the lower part where it hinges and close it back up. I'm not taking credit for it but it is a very good solution.

C T lex Posted June 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 @thomseabrook So you just create a loop inside the processor and the lid holds it. Great, thanks for the input. TommyT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C T lex Posted June 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 @thomseabrook Thanks for the last email Thom. That is very clever. By looping at the hinge of rubber port there's little tension on the port cover. Thanks a whole bunch.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 And @C T lex Rondo 1 clips with attached lines are for sale in the US Med-El shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C T lex Posted June 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 My audiologist tells me the store is temporarily out Rondo 2 leashes and clips together and have back ordered them. Also, she had a tool which greatly simplified threading a leash and clip the way Mary suggested. If anyone is interested I'll find out exactly what the tool is. I intend to use fishing line as described by Thomas. C T lex Mary Beth and Jewel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCB Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I didn't like the hair clip or the collar clip. I took some lite fishing line and an ear cuff ($3 small frog) and made a very capable leash for my new Rondo 2. I like the leash being attached to my ear that moves in sync with my Rondo 2 Jewel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 5, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 @JCB very nice idea! Did you just tie a loop around the small peg under the Rondo 2 cover or did you secure it a different way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I hooked it around the skinny part of the rubber in the port at the bottom. So far, very effective. Being careful not to pull on the line in the rubber. (The fishing line I used is too thin to stay under the processor cover reliably).

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 5, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 @JCB I do not know anything about fishing line. What kind did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I think it is about 6 lb test monofilament line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 5, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 @JCB thank you. I always wonder if fishing line might cut through the rubber seal if the Rondo 2 did get knocked off our heads. Many users are designing their own security lines for Rondo 2. So far I have read reports of using fishing line, dental floss and thread. I like your frog ear cuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Valentin Posted July 5, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'm using this one for my Rondo. it's more than enough in weight and size. I'm sure I'll have line for a few years 🙂 I don't wait to the line broke itself, I change it every 6 months. Mary Beth and Jewel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 5, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Very good idea @Valentin to change the line on a schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hi, my almost 5 yr old son leash kept breaking so I used some jewelry cord & made a tiny loop to fit the existing structure under the cover & Secured to a new clip & reinforced it with jewelry clamp beads. It’s much sturdier than the replacement leashes, especially for kids. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 3, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 @Jamie That sounds like a great idea. Will you post a picture of it please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Tom Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Dear folks, I gave up on the clip and leash that came with my AdHear. Given the active life I lead, the earpiece gets knocked off my head at least once a week. My fix was 6" of 30 lb test monofilament tied to the earpiece and at the other end, sewn to a 1.5" x 4" piece of colorful cloth with a small button on it (for weight) with the button at the end opposite the monofilament. The cloth has my phone number on it. I tuck the fabric under my shirt over my shoulder and down my back. When the earpiece gets detached, it hangs on the front of my shirt, easy to find and put back behind my ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
