Inserting and removing the instrument
(ThinTube)
Inserting the instrument
• Hang the instrument over the top of the ear.
• Grasp the sound tube where it bends. The dome should be placed far
enough into the ear that the sound tube lies flush with your head. When
the dome is placed appropriately, you should not see the sound tube
sticking out when you look directly into a mirror.
• If the device whistles, the most likely reason is that the dome is not placed
correctly in the ear canal. Other reasons can be buildup of earwax in the
ear canal, or that the sound tube connection to the instrument has be-
come loose, in which case the sound tube must be changed. It is also
possible that the instrument settings are not optimal. If you have ruled out
other reasons for the instrument squealing, it is recommended to contact
your hearing care professional.
i
Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, ear-
moulds, or tubing yourself.
Recognising left and right instrument
If you have two hearing instruments, they may be tuned differently. One for your left ear, the other for your
right. Do not swap them. Please pay attention to this when cleaning, storing and inserting the instruments.
