7.11  Coupling the hearing instrument 

FastFacts 7.11: Coupling the hearing instrument 

The Verifit is supplied with 2 metal couplers, a type HA-1 (ITE) and a type HA-2 
(BTE). Note that an 

ANSI standard coupler for CICs does not exist

. These 

must be tested in the HA-1 coupler. 

When threading the couplers onto the coupler microphone, 

it is very important 

that they be firmly tightened

 to ensure a good acoustic seal. Avoid twisting the 

coupler microphone cable – turn the coupler not the microphone or unplug the 
microphone while tightening the coupler. 

BTE

 instruments are coupled to the HA-2 coupler by means of a 10 mm (3/8

th

 “) 

length of heavy wall #13 earmold tubing. The only purpose of this tubing is to seal 
the tip of the earhook to the coupler inlet. All of the tubing required by ANSI S3.22 
is machined into the metal stem of the HA-2 coupler. The #13 tubing should be 
inspected regularly for cracks which will cause feedback. 

Custom

 instruments are sealed to the HA-1 coupler with putty so that the end of 

the eartip is flush with the inside of the coupler opening. Putty should not extend 
into the coupler cavity or block the sound outlet of the instrument. 

Vents should 

be sealed at the faceplate end

. It is very important that the instrument be well-

sealed to the coupler. 

Open fit

 instruments must use the coupler and coupling system specified by the 

manufacturer. This may involve a hook that replaces the open fit tubing or an 
adapter tube that may be sealed to the opening of the HA-1 coupler with putty. 

Receiver-in-canal

 instruments are coupled to the HA-1 coupler using putty to seal 

the receiver module or soft tip to the coupler opening. 

Excess low frequency output is usually due to open vents or a poor seal to 
the coupler. 

For health reasons, hearing instruments should be clean before putty is 

applied and putty should be replaced frequently.
