Insertion (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)
1. Place the hearing instrument on the ear.
2. Hold the thin tube where it bends, and gently
place the dome into the ear canal. Push the dome

lies flush with the head.

correctly into your ear.
4. When the dome is placed correctly, you should not be able to see the thin tube sticking out when facing
a mirror.

Note: You should never attempt to bend or modify the shape of the thin tube.
