P-speaker unit for power fittings
The P-speaker unit contains a high performance receiver which requires ample room in the ear canal.
To determine if your client’s ear canal can accommodate this receiver, please use the measurement
gauge supplied. This step is necessary for both instant fittings with the Power Dome and custom fit-
tings with a Canal Mold.
Using the measurement gauge
1 Hold the handle of the measurement
gauge so that the flat side of the handle
is up.
2 Insert the gauge into the ear canal (with
the flat side up) until the size indicator is
fully surrounded by the ear canal. If the
size indicator fits easily within the ear
canal, the client is an excellent candidate
for the P-speaker unit.
3 If the size indicator does not fit in the ear
canal but is hidden behind the tragus when
viewing from a 45° angle, the P-speaker
with Canal Mold can still be produced.
If the size indicator is visible when viewed
from a 45° angle, the client is NOT a candidate for
the P-speaker unit.

The gauge must be cleaned and steril-
ized before re-use. First clean any visible
cerumen from the gauge with a dry or
moist tissue. Next soak the gauge in a
cold sterilant for at least 6 hours.
