Inserting/Removing hearing instruments
Insertion (custom earmoulds)
1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and index finger and position its sound
outlet in your ear canal.
2. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.
3. Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks
behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.
4. Move the earmould up and down and gently press to ensure it is positioned
correctly in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
5. Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.
By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing
instruments should fit snugly but comfortably. If the hearing instruments cause irritation
of the ears, contact your hearing care professional.
i Note: Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, earmoulds,
or tubing yourself.
i
Tip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand during insertion.
Removal (custom earmolds)
1. Hold a portion of your earmould towards the back of the ear.
2. Pull the earmould outward and simultaneously rotate the earmould forward.
3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties removing the hearing instrument.
Insertion (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)
1. Hold the thin tube where it bends, and gently
place the dome into the ear canal. Push the dome
far enough into the ear canal so that the thin tube
lies flush with the head.
2. It is important that the tube and the dome fit
correctly into your ear.
3. When the dome is place correctly, you should
not be able to see the thin tube sticking out when
facing a mirror.
i Note: You should never attempt to bend or modify the shape of the thin tube.
Removal (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)
1. Hold the thin tube with your thumb and forefinger and remove the tube.
2. For thin tube custom earmoulds, grasp the removal string and pull the earmould
outward.
3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties removing the
hearing instrument.
