9.2 Tulip domes
The tulip domes are mounted in a similar manner to the standard domes, but a few extra steps are
required. The tulip domes consist of two “petals”.
Follow these steps to mount domes:
1. Push the largest petal away from the wire 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:
Make sure that the new dome is properly and securely mounted.
9.3 The receiver
The receiver delivers the sound to the ear canal. It is important that the receiver and the dome/earmould
fit correctly in your ear. If the receiver or the dome/earmould irritate your ear in any way and prevent you
from wearing your hearing aid, please contact your hearing care professional.
You should never attempt to modify the shape of the receiver yourself. The receiver and the dome/RIE
mould should be cleaned regularly.
10 Daily maintenance
It is important to keep your hearing aid clean and dry. On a daily basis, clean the hearing aids using a soft
cloth or tissue. If the microphone inlets are clogged, gently brush across the microphone inlets with a
small, clean brush.

WARNING:
DO NOT USE FORCE TO PRESS THE HAIRS OF THE BRUSH INTO THE INLETS,
BECAUSE THE MICROPHONES MAY BE DAMAGED.
