Adjusting to your hearing aid
Fit experience in the first 2 weeks
The first 2 weeks of owning your hearing aid are a crucial time for getting accustomed to the fit of
your device. Here’s how to tailor the fit of your device for comfortable use.
1. Find the right size dome for you
• Your device comes prefitted with a size medium dome. Also provided is a
variety of domes to help you find the best fit.
• The dome should fit snugly in your ear canal like a cork in a wine bottle. If
too loose, this can create a whooshing or whistling sound. This can be solved
by using a larger dome or dierent dome style like closed or double.
2. Decide if the retention guard helps with fit
• The retention guard curls down, towards the back and into the outer bowl of
your ear to keep the hearing aid in place. It’s designed to provide extra
stability, but many customers don’t find it necessary.
