The silicone tubing connecting your earmold to your
hearing instrument should be changed if it becomes
stiff or brittle. Contact your hearing healthcare profes-
sional to change the tubing when needed.
MAINTAINING THE THIN TUBE/
FLEX-TUBE AND DOME
The Thin Tube or Flex-Tube and the dome feed the
amplifi ed sound from the hearing instrument into
the ear. It is important that the tube and the dome fi t
correctly in your ear. If the tube or the dome irritates
your ear in any way and prevents you from wearing
your hearing instrument, please contact your hearing
healthcare professional. You should never attempt to
modify the shape of the tube yourself.
The tube and the dome should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the tube from the instrument before cleaning
it. Use a damp cloth to clean the tube and dome on
the outside and use the black cleaning rod to push
any debris out of the tube. The cleaning rod should
be inserted where the tube attaches to the instrument
and pushed all the way through the tube and out
through the dome.
MAINTAINING THE EARMOLD
AND TUBING
The earmold feeds amplifi ed sound from the hearing
instrument into your ear. It is important that your ear-
mold fi ts correctly into your ear. If the earmold irritates
your ear in any way and prevents you from wearing
your hearing instrument, please contact your hearing
healthcare professional to have your earmold modi-
fi ed. You should never attempt to modify the shape of
the earmold yourself.
The earmold should be cleaned regularly using luke-
warm water. Remove the earmold, along with the
silicone tubing, from the hearing instrument before
cleaning it. If earwax or other debris becomes lodged
in the earmold, the cleaning loop, provided with your
hearing instrument, can be used to remove this mate-
rial. Alternatively, a syringe with lukewarm water can
be used to fl ush debris out of the earmold. Your hear-
ing healthcare professional can instruct you on how
to properly use such cleaning tools.
Be sure to thoroughly dry your earmold and its tub-
ing before reconnecting it to your hearing instrument.
Sometimes it is helpful to blow gently through the
tubing to remove moisture trapped inside.
