Warning to hearing healthcare professional:
Domes should
never be fitted on clients with perforated eardrums, exposed
middle ear cavities, or surgically altered ear canals. In the case of
such a condition, we recommend to use a customized ear mold. In
the unlikely case that any parts remain in the ear canal after the
removal of the hearing instrument, contact a physician immediately.
