EAR MOULD
The ear mould feeds the amplified sounds from
the hearing instrument into the ear. it is impor-
tant that the ear mould fits correctly in your ear
and does not cause irritation or pain. if the ear
mould irritates your ear in any way and prevents
you from wearing your hearing instrument, please
contact your hearing care professional to have the
ear mould modified. you should never attempt to
modify the shape of the ear mould yourself.

The ear mould should be cleaned every day.
remove the ear mould and the plastic tubing
from the hearing instrument before you clean
the ear mould. lukewarm water should be
enough to clean grease and moisture off the
ear mould. do not immerse the ear mould in
disinfectant liquids, such as alcohol, since this can
cause the tubing to dry out and crack. if
earwax is stuck in the tubing or ear mould,
use a syringe filled with lukewarm water to
"push" the wax out. The plastic tubing connecting
the ear mould to the hearing instrument should
be changed by hearing care professional if it be-
comes stiff or brittle.
