10. The receiver tube
The receiver tube contains the wiring to the receiver which delivers the sound to the ear canal. It is impor-
tant that the receiver tube and the receiver dome/RIE mould fits correctly in your ear. If the receiver tube
or the receiver dome/RIE mould irritates your ear in any way and prevents you from wearing your hearing
aids, please contact your hearing care professional.
You should never attempt to modify the shape of the receiver tube yourself. The receiver tube and the
receiver dome/RIE mould should be cleaned regularly.
Please see cleaning instructions in chapter 14.2 – 14.4.
11. How to apply domes
It is recommended that your hearing care professional shows you how to change the domes, because in-
correct dome replacement could result in the dome being left in the ear when you remove the hearing aids.
11.1 Beltone domes
Follow these steps to mount domes:
1. Push the new dome over the ribbed flange on
the thin tube.
2. Make sure that the new dome is properly and
securely mounted.
11.2 Beltone Tulip domes
The Tulip domes are mounted in a similar manner to the ordinary domes, but a few extra steps are re-
quired. The Tulip domes consist of two “petals”.
Follow these steps to mount domes:
1. Push the largest petal away from the thin tube using a finger. This bends the petal forward.
2. Push the new tulip dome over the flange.
3. Then push the largest petal backwards, and it will be placed on top of the smaller petal.
i
NOTE: It is important to note that the largest petal is the outermost petal.
4. Make sure that the new dome is properly and securely mounted.
