Cleaning The Receiver Tubes And Domes; Cleaning Rie Moulds - ReSound Receiver-in-ear Hearing Instrument User Manual

the receiver tube
The receiver tube comes in two different power levels:
NP (Normal Power) and HP (High Power). Depending on your hearing
loss you have either been fitted with the NP or the HP receiver type.
Please go to page 10 to see your selected type. The receiver tube
contains the wiring to the receiver which delivers the sound to the ear canal. It is important
that the receiver tube and the receiver dome/RIE mold fits correctly in your ear. If the
receiver tube or the receiver dome/RIE mould irritates your ear in any way and prevents you
from wearing your hear ing instrument, please contact your hearing care pro fessional. You
should never attempt to modify the shape of the receiver tube yourself. The receiver tube and
the receiver dome/RIE mould should be cleaned regularly. Please see instructions in the next
section.
