Clinician-only care tasks
There are extra steps you can take to clean and maintain a recipient's Hybrid system when
they come to see you:
• Check for correct attachment of the Hybrid receiver.
• Check for correct insertion of the speaker unit.
• Check the fit of the dome is still correct as the ear may change with time and weight
fluctuations. Examine the ear with an otoscope to check for any sore spots inside and
around the ear.
• Replace the Hybrid receiver if the cable is broken, stretched or twisted.
• Replace the speaker unit wax filter if it looks dirty or clogged with wax.
• Replace domes whenever they lose shape or look dirty or discoloured.
