Inserting hearing instruments with a
thin sound tube
Inserting your hearing instrument
with a thin tube correctly every
time, takes practice.
A. Place the hearing instrument
behind your ear.
B. Hold the bend of the tube
between your thumb and index
finger. The dome should be
pointing towards the ear canal
opening. Gently push the dome
into your ear canal until the
sound tube sits close against
the side of your head.
C. Position the ear grip into the
indentation above your ear lobe
using your index finger.
Look in a mirror. If the sound tube
is sticking out from your ear, the
dome has not been placed correctly
in the ear canal. If the ear grip is
visibly sticking out from your ear it
has not been positioned correctly.
To remove the instrument pull the
bend of the tube.
