Oh, Gloria would go nuts!  I actually widened the inside with my Dremmel on
one of the and she was horrified because they're so thin...... Well one was
thinner than the other, and so I just did a bit of fixing!  You're the only
one who took any interest in my little problem.........  I simply pressed
down on the flexible tube which had been super-glued, and the lack of
flexibility in that "joint", made it break immediately when I pushed down on
the flexible part.  Gloria, again, rather amazed..........    I DO know that
most people are amazingly stooooopid, but come on, it doesn't take an
engineering degree to think of some basic stuff.
 
So, I think I'm paying a price for using cell phone.  Have they a "fix" so
that one does not lose hearing with the cell??????????/

You can get the tubes out by carefully drilling them out (slow dremel tool).
The tubes and the PVC-e glue are both softer than the acrylic, (I suppose
that's what yours are made of?--clear, plastic-looking?)  Why do you have to
glue them in?  Maybe you need to get larger diameter tubes, they should fit
snuggly by themselves.  I replace tubes for free for my patients--is Gloria
too far away for a quick stop by her office?  Usually the professional can
do a better job, because all the angles and lengths can be adjusted more
precisely when they are on the patient's head, making for greater comfort.

Is there a mild way to soften or dissolve PVC-e glue?   I am using it to

hold plastic tubes in the molds for my hearing aids, and need to replace

tubes.  The molds are about $135, and fragile, so I can't go digging madly

with blunt instruments... 



thanks
