Earmolds send amplified sound from the hearing devices into the ears. - Page 20 Cleaning the Slim Tubes and Domes If your hearing instruments have slim tubes (see “Using the Unison Digital BTE Guide”), you need to ensure that the tubes and domes are free of ear wax and moisture. You should have the slim tubes and domes replaced by your hearing healthcare professional approximately every three months or when they become stiff or brittle.
- Page 21 4. Using the black cleaning pin provided in the kit, gently insert the cleaning pin where the slim tube attaches to the hearing instrument and push the pin all the way through the tube and out through the dome. Note: The slim tubes and domes should never be rinsed or submerged in water as water drops may become lodged in the tube, block sound or damage the electrical components of the hearing instrument.
