Replacing The Wax Filter (Receiver In-The-Ear Models) - ReSound Standard Tube User Manual

tulip domes
Tulip domes are mounted in a similar manner to standard domes, but a few extra steps are
required. Tulip domes consist of two "petals". It is important to note that the largest petal is the
outermost petal. To ensure this:
1. Push the largest petal away from the thin tube using a finger. This bends the petal forward.
2. Then push the largest "petal" back, and it will be placed on top of the smaller petal.

RIE models have two types of wax filters that protect against wax and moisture. The first wax
guard is part of the domes. The second wax guard is placed directly on top of the receiver.
These filters come in blue and red colors to further help identify left from right hearing instru-
ments (left=blue; red=right). It is recommended that these are changed as needed.
To change these filters, the following steps are needed:
