Inserting and removing the instrument
(ThinTube)
Inserting the instrument
•
Hang the instrument over the top of the ear.
•
Grasp the sound tube where it bends. The dome should be placed far
enough into the ear that the sound tube lies flush with your head. When
the dome is placed appropriately, you should not see the sound tube
sticking out when you look directly into a mirror.
•
If the device whistles, the most like ly reason is that the dome is not pla-
ced correctly in the ear canal. Other reasons can be buildup of earwax
in the ear canal, or that the sound tube connection to the instrument
has become loose, in which case the sound tube must be changed. It
is also possible that the instrument settings are not optimal. If you have
ruled out other reasons for the instrument squeal ing, it is recommen-
ded to contact your hearing care professional.
i
Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, ear-
moulds, or tubing yourself.
