The receiver tube
The receiver tube comes in three different types;
“S” (Small Size), “NP” (Normal Power) and “P” (Power)
Please see illustrations.
Depending on your hearing loss you have either
been fitted with the “S”, the “NP” or the “P” receiver
type. Please see page 48-52 to see your selected
type. The receiver tube contains the wiring to the
receiver which delivers the sound direct in the ear
canal. It is important that the receiver tube and the
receiver dome/RIE mold fit correctly into your ear.
If the receiver tube or the receiver dome/RIE mold
irritate your ear in any way and prevent you from
wearing your hearing instrument, please contact
your hearing care professional. You should never attempt to modify theshape of the receiver tube yourself.
The receiver tube and the receiver dome/RIE mold should be cleaned regularly.
Cleaning the receiver tube and the receiver domes
The receiver tube and the receiver dome should be cleaned regularly. Use a damp cloth to clean the re-
ceiver tube and receiver dome on the outside. Do not use water when you are cleaning the receiver tubes
or the receiver domes.
Cleaning the RIE mold
We recommend that you use a damp cloth to clean the RIE mold after every time you use it. It’s important
to keep it clean from wax so that you will not have wax or bacteria building up on the mold.
If you no longer can clean the RIE mold using a damp cloth we recommend you to contact your hearing care
professional for them to clean it, using water and soap. If desired, you can have your hearing care profes-
sional instruct you how to clean the RIE mold yourself.
