water drops from tubing and earmould. A special device is
available for this from your hearing care practitioner.
• Ensure that the earmould and tubing are completely dry be-
fore attaching them to the hearing instrument. Take care with
left and right instruments, check the figures on page 17.
Replacing the tube
Ask your hearing care practitioner to replace the tubing from the instrument to the
earmould if it turns stiff or changes colour.
Cleaning the Thin tube and dome (if applicable)
The thin tube feeds the amplified sound from the hearing instrument into the ear. It
is important that the thin tube and the dome fit correctly into your ear. If the thin tube
or the dome irritate your ear in any way and prevent you from wearing your hearing
instrument, please contact your hearing care professional. You should never attempt
to modify the shape of the thin tube yourself.
