I'll post some pix this weekend. I have an Intenso so it is a tiny bit larger than the Divino model. Gotta go post to my thread that Jan started for me.  ;D

Wow, Bucko.  Didn't realize you have an Intenso - can't wait to see how it looks compared to my Divino.

Intenso, Divino - feel like I'm talking in a secret code here  :D

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

I also have the Intenso.  The audiologist didn't discuss the different models with me so I guess he decided which was best for me.  I have found that my hair is not quite covering it, but what the heck.  I'm in the process of letting my hair grow, but I've never been too successful with that.

Linda -

The only thing I know about the Intenso is that it's more powerful than the Divino.

I was given the Divino because the hearing in my "good" ear is perfect - not bragging here, just telling it like it is  ;)

I did ask my neurotologist what will happen as I age (I'm currently 46 1/2) and potentially lose some of the hearing in my "good" ear.  He told me that I could just switch to the Intenso.

Works for me!  :)

Are we talking plain M&M's or peanut?   ;D

I would say 4 of the plain ones would be very accurate.  However, in the name of research, I will have to go to Target, get myself a few one pound bags and see for myself.

Lori -

we are definitely talking plain M&Ms here - the peanut ones would be too big.

However, I still think you need to scientifically verify that, so carry on with the research  ;)
