• Do not immerse your hearing instrument in water
when you are cleaning the receiver tube and dome.
• Do not use alcohol or other chemical agents to
clean the receiver tube and dome.
For NP/LP receiver tubes only, refer to pages 24–25
for instructions on changing the HF3 wax fi lter.
CHANGING THE DOME
Changing the HP receiver tube power dome
(HP RIE models only)
Contact your hearing healthcare professional to have
the power dome on the HP receiver tube changed.
Your hearing healthcare professional will use a spe-
cialized tool in order to ensure it is mounted correctly.
Changing the Open Dome or Tulip-Dome on an
NP/LP receiver tube or Thin Tube/Flex-Tube
The Open Dome or Tulip-Dome should also be
changed every 3–6 months or sooner if it becomes
stiff or brittle. We recommend that you have your
hearing healthcare professional change the dome for
you. If your hearing healthcare professional instructs
you to change the dome yourself, make sure that it is
securely fastened to the tube before inserting it into
your ear. Failure to change the dome in accordance
with the instructions that follow could result in injury.
It is not recommended to submerge or rinse the tube
and dome with water, as there is a risk that a water
drop may become lodged in the tube. If this should
occur, it will prevent sound from passing through
the tube, and may be harmful to the instrument’s
electronics.
The Thin Tube or Flex-Tube should be changed every
3–6 months or sooner if it becomes stiff or brittle.
RECEIVER TUBE (RIE MODELS ONLY)
There are several types of receiver tubes,
including: Normal Power (NP), Low Power
(LP) and High Power (HP). Your hearing
healthcare professional will determine
which tube is most appropriate for your
hearing loss.
The receiver tube contains the wiring to
the receiver, which delivers the sound
directly into your ear canal. It is important
that the receiver tube and dome fi t correctly in your
ear. If the receiver 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 receiver tube yourself.
MAINTAINING THE RECEIVER TUBE
AND DOME (RIE MODELS ONLY)
The receiver tube and dome should be clean ed regu-
larly. Use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the
receiver tube and dome.
