Putting ON Your Hearing Instrument
with Earhook
It takes patience and practice to insert your earmold
correctly. If you have difficulty, please consult your
hearing care provider.
· Hold the earmold by the tubing
so that the helix part is pointing
straight up and the canal part
is pointing at the ear canal
entrance.
· Insert the canal part into your
ear canal, twisting slightly to ease
the helix portion into place. It may
help to pull the ear lobe down with
the other hand, or pull the top of
the ear back and up.
· Run your index finger down
the skin just in front of your ear.
If you can touch the helix part
of the earmold, it is not inserted
correctly. Gently push
it behind the fold of your ear.
· Lift the hearing instrument into
place behind your ear. Be careful
not to twist the tubing.
