Preparing a Tulip-Dome for Insertion
The Tulip-Dome must be correctly configured before insertion. The Tulip-Dome con-
sists of two “leaves” and it is important that the largest “leaf” is the outermost “leaf”
(gure3).
This can easily be done by pushing the “leaves” away from the Tube with your finger
(gure1).Thiswillmakethelarge“leaf”bendforward.Thenyoupushitbackandit

Earwax Management
Hearing systems are susceptible to damage or poor performance from earwax. If
appro priate, your hearing health professional will have selected and installed an ear-
wax management system on your instruments.
You will need to discuss with your hearing healthcare professional how to use the
particular earwax management system selected. For future reference, enter this infor-
mation on the service page at the back of this guide.
Note: If the hearing system seems to have lost power because it is not loud enough
and changing the batteries does not help, the filters may be blocked and need to be
changed.
When the Hearing System Is Not in Use
To protect your hearing system when it is not in use, always store it inside its carrying
case. When storing the hearing system for a prolonged period of time, remove the
battery to prevent damage from corrosion.
