Inserting and removing the device
Inserting:
1. Hang the instrument over the top of
the ear.
2. Grasp the receiver tube where it bends and push the receiver
dome into your ear canal. The receiver dome should
be placed far enough into the ear so that
the receiver tube lies flush with your head.
When the receiver dome is placed
appropriately, you should not see the
receiver tube sticking out when you look
directly into a mirror.
3. If the hearing care professional has provided
you with a sport lock on the receiver tube,
make sure to position it into the
indentation above the earlobe. If the device
whistles, the most likely reason is that the
receiver dome is not placed correctly in the
ear canal.
Other reasons can be build-up of earwax in the
ear canal. It is also possible that the instrument settings are
not optimal. To help you solve these issues it is recommended
to contact your hearing care professional.
Removing:
1. Grasp the receiver tube where it
bends and pull the receiver dome
out of your ear canal.
2. Lift the hearing instrument of your ear.
Removing (when using a RIE Mold):
1. Grasp the pull-out cord on the
RIE Mold and pull the RIE Mold
out of your ear canal.
2. Lift the hearing instrument of your ear.
