Tip: Insertion of the earmold can be easier if you gently pull your ear
backward with your other hand. Opening and closing your mouth while
inserting may also be helpful.
inserting a dome with a BTe instrument:
• With the Program switch in the "0" (Off) position, hold your hearing
system by the tube where it bends.
• Hang the instrument over the top of your ear so that the housing
portion is behind your ear and the dome is in front.
• Push the dome into your ear until it sits comfortably and the tube
lies flat against the side of your head. Run your finger down the thin
tube from the top of your ear to the opening of the canal. This makes
the tube fit snugly against the skin of the outer ear and also serves
to insert the tube more securely into the canal. Note: When the
dome is placed correctly, you should not see the tube sticking out
when looking directly into a mirror.

• Switch on your hearing system by closing the battery door.
If you need further help, please contact your hearing healthcare professional.
note: If your hearing system irritates your ear in any way and prevents you from wearing your
hearing instrument, please contact your hearing healthcare professional. Never attempt to
modify the shape of your hearing instrument yourself.

To remove the hearing instrument from your ear, simply pull the earmold or tube outward with
your thumb and index finger. Next grab the earmold or tube as close to your ear as possible
and remove it. Consult your hearing healthcare professional if you have difficulty removing the
hearing instrument.
