Proper Placement in the Ear
Inserting the Receiver Dome and RIE Instrument:
• With the battery door open (the off position), hold your hearing instrument by the
tube, right where it bends.
• Hang the instrument over the top of your ear so that the housing portion is behind
your ear and the dome is in front.
• Push the receiver dome into your ear until it sits comfortably and the tube lies flat
against the side of your head. Note: When the receiver dome is placed correctly,
you should not see the tube sticking out when looking directly into a mirror.
• If you have not already turned on your hearing instrument, switch it on by closing
the battery door.
If you need further help, your hearing healthcare professional will be glad to show you
how to insert your hearing instrument correctly.
Note
: If your hearing instrument irritates your ear in any way and prevents you from
wearing your hearing instrument, please contact your hearing healthcare professional.
Never attempt to modify the shape of your hearing instrument yourself.
