RETUBING YOUR EARMOULD
You should replace the plastic tube inside your earmould
approximately every 6-9 months, or when the tube becomes
discoloured and hard.
This will help to maintain good sound quality and comfort.
If the tube becomes too hard it can snap and get stuck inside
the mould. If this happens you will not be able to wear the
hearing aid until the broken tube is removed and replaced.
Replacement tubing is available from the Audiology department
Please follow these simple instructions on how to replace
the tube. If you nd it difcult to handle small objects or have
eyesight problems and cannot replace the tube yourself, then
please ask a friend or relative to help, or book a repair
appointment and we will do it for you.
Hold the tube in one hand and the
hearing aid hook in the other, twist
and pull rmly apart.
Pull the old piece of tubing out
of the mould. KEEP THIS PIECE
OF TUBING
Cut the new piece of tubing to a
long thin point.
Insert the pointed end into the
mould as shown. If there are two
holes in the mould you should use
the top one.
Pull the tubing through until it
reaches the bend.
Cut off the point ‘ush’ with the
mould using a sharp pair of scissors.
