DncTchr2 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Well, it did not take long...just 4 weeks activated (bilateral) and one of my Rondo 2s fell off yesterday. Retraced my steps twice with no luck...in the event that I am able to replace it, what are your best suggestions for keeping from losing them? Was trying to think of a way to label them with contact info, since if someone just finds it, they would have no idea what it is (where with a hearing aid, they may be more apt to turn it in, knowing what it is)...so bummed!

JohnL Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 When I first started wearing my Rondo 2 I used the clip that attached to a shirt collar but I found having the wire flop around the back of my neck aggravating. So I switched and use the hair clip ((you should have received both in your welcome kit). At first it was a little strange, being a guy and using a hair clip, but it’s better than the alternative I.e. what happened to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy C Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I tether mine to my shirt collar. I too was bothered by the tether flopping on my neck. I found that if I moved th clip to the opposite side of my collar it reduced the flopping to a level that it no longer bothered me. I do not have hair to use the hair clip. If the occasion allows I wear a ball cap over the Rondo2. That seems to help hold it in place. I believe Med El has an asessary called grip wear to help hold it in place. I have not tried that.

DncTchr2 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Thank you both...I will need to look through my boxes...I did not see anything...left my number everywhere I was yesterday, but no one has called...I got Sonnet 2s too, so I will be making due with those for a while...I like the sonnets, just like options too...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted February 22, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I use the hair clip too. It doesn't look as cool, but as John noted, you also don't lose your processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 22, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 @DncTchr2 I am so sorry to hear this. We have one time loss through Med-El. Check with your customer service rep. There are great mini labels I use on my items. I do not know if they would be okay to use on the Rondo 2 due to its charging method. Check with Med-El . My first name and phone number fit on these. They are still going strong 5 years later. https://www.kiddotags.com/mini-slim-clothing-tags.html @MED-EL Moderator Is it okay to put these adhesive labels on Rondo 2 processors? If not, any suggestions to how we can label them in case they are lost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MED-EL Moderator Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi @Mary Beth, thanks for your question. I'll check with our product experts and get back asap Best regards, Verena Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MED-EL Moderator Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi @Mary Beth, since these adhesive labels are not produced by MED-EL, our product expers cannot give an official recommendation to use them on RONDO 2, but they don't expect any issues when using it. Best regards, Verena Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita C. Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I wear two Rondo 2 CI's. However, they came with only one hair clip, because one was supposed to be a back up. Anyway in October, when I was in downtown Portland, the weather got windy and blustery and I somehow lost one of my processors. Ironically it was the one I had clipped in my hair! MedEl replaced it, I ordered the second clip and am clipping both in place. If it's really windy, I have a loose-fitting lightweight hat I put on.

Forrest Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I lost my Rhondo2 and spent a crazed couple of weeks, running around posting "lost" signs, checking stores , pacing up and down the dog park, (pre-covic 19) etc. I finally found it: because it has a magnet, it attached to an old metal item I'd been carrying and never thought to check. Whew! But now I'm totally paranoid about losing it (especially with a face mask) and not wearing it. Tsk, I know, ....and of course having others cover their mouths...staying home mostly. But here is part of the problem: I lost one of the little plastic leashes to attach it to my hair, which worked fine (i'm female) but the other one broke. So now I have nothing. I contacted MedEl and after a communication struggle, found out that I could only purchase ($$) a set of 4, of which only two are the short little kind I would use. Hmmm...thought about trying to fashion some out of fishing line but haven't done it. Don't know if there is someone out there that uses the clip-to shirt kind and would like to do a trade. I can't see paying that much and having 2 go to waste. Advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Valentin Posted May 6, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hi all, I hope you are fine these days. @Forrest I have Rondo (no Rondo 2), I think that the keeping system to avoud Rondo's mantain near you if the decided "to fly" is something different, however I share it. I use the loop and clip. Here are the thread where we talk about it (scroll down to 7 reply). It's very simple and effective. I replace the line every 4-6 month for security and use the small alligator that came with Rondo.Pay attention that I use glasses all the day, so it's easy to apply.
