The Receiver Tube; Cleaning The Receiver Tubes And Domes; Cleaning Rie Molds - ReSound SY312 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 mold 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 re-
ceiver dome/RIE mold should be cleaned regularly. Please see instructions in the next section.
