Please note:
• Do not remove LifeTip. It should be replaced by an
Audiologist unless you have been shown how to do so.
• ThinTubes will need to be replaced every 3-6 months. Spare
tubing can be issued from the Audiology Department to
save patients from returning for each replacement. LifeTips
should be replaced every 1 to 2 months or as needed.
• For removal of any blockages, a cleaning wire can be
inserted in to the end of the ThinTube which attaches to the
hearing aid and fed through to the LifeTip. Insertion into
the LifeTip could push a blockage further in to the tubing.
Wipe the cleaning wire
4
with a soft cloth.
Carefully screw the ThinTube
5
to the hearing aid to
reconnect.
