Detaching and Installing a VoiceBud’s
Sound Tube
An open ear dome allows more outside sounds to reach
your ears, combining with the sound from the VoiceBud
hearing aid. This sounds more natural to many VoiceBud
users. However, an open ear dome choice may limit the
amount of amplification you can use. The increased sound
level from the VoiceBud may generate ‘feedback’ (see page
15) because the output of the VoiceBud’s speaker is picked
up by the VoiceBud’s microphones. A closed ear dome allows
a VoiceBud user to use more sound amplification because it
isolates the VoiceBud’s speaker from its microphones.
