To attach the slim tube HE:
1. Unscrew the earhook from the hearing instrument.
2. Hold the slim tube with the dome attached in one hand
and the hearing instrument in the other hand.
3. Gently turn the hearing instrument onto the slim tube
until it is snug.
Note: To prevent damage to the slim tube, it is recommended
that you turn the hearing instrument onto the slim tube and
not vice-versa.
To remove the slim tube HE:
1. Unscrew the slim tube HE from the hearing instrument
gently.
In some cases, you might find that the slim tube HE does
not lie close to the side of the head or follow the shape of
the ear.
First, ensure the selected dome and slim tube HE sizes
are appropriate (see previous pages).
If a different slim tube HE does not fit better, you may
need to modify the curvature (bend) slightly using the
steps outlined below.
1. Remove the slim tube HE from the hearing instrument.
2. Heat the tube carefully with a hairdryer at a low setting
for a few seconds.
3. Do not use excessive heat to avoid damage to the
tube.
4. Bend the tubing into the desired shape and hold until
it has cooled off. Once completely cooled, the tube will
maintain its new shape.
