Short Vents Long Vents
Micro Molds use tube-shaped vents, as in traditional ear Molds,
but the length is shorter than standard vents. Therefore, the
Micro Mold vent effect is much larger than its actual diameter.
Genie prescribes the vent size, when Micro Mold is selected.
Check the Micro Mold vent size under Acoustics in Fitting step.
For further information about selecting vent sizes and
effective vent sizes please refer to the Genie helpfiles under
Acoustics.

Custom RITE Molds use tube-shaped vents just like Micro
Molds. However, the vent is a little longer. Still, the canal’s
vent effect is larger than its actual diameter. Genie prescribes
the vent size (from X Large to No Vent) when Micro Mold is
selected. To reflect the actual diameter select the vent size for
long vents, e.g. Large (long).

Attaching the RITE Mold
When fitting Oticon Agil RITE hearing devices with RITE Molds
follow the instructions below:
Find the correct Receiver unit length and attach it to the
instrument (see Selecting Receiver Unit Length).
1. Carefully insert the Receiver into the RITE Molds and
push until you hear/feel a click.
2. When inserting the Receiver into a modified RITE Molds
with a longer canal, use the Mold tool to snap the Receiver
more deeply into the Mold, as pictured.
3. The Mold can rotate axially to ensure maximum comfort.
Before placing the Mold in the ear, turn the Mold until
the up indicator points upwards.
