Hearing aid with a custom ear-tip
Changing the tubing
The tubing should be changed on a regular basis. The
life of the tubing is individual and depends on a num-
ber of factors, such as how much the hearing aid is
used.
If your ear-set tubing becomes slack, stiff, yellow or
cracked, contact your hearing care professional regard-
ing replacement..
Note: Changing the tubing for the custom ear-tip re-
quires certain skilled experience, replacement parts
and/or tools. We recommend that you consult your
hearing care professional when any part of the earset,
including the custom ear-tip, needs replacement or ad-
justment.

tery in the battery drawer of the hearing aid.
