Inserting receiver domes:
1. Hang the instrument over the top of the ear.
2. Grasp the receiver tube where it bends and place the receiver dome in your ear canal. The receiver
dome should be placed far enough into the ear so that the receiver tube lies flush with your head.
3. If the hearing care professional has provided you with a sport lock on the receiver tube, make sure to
position it into the indentation above the earlobe.
4. When the receiver dome is placed appropriately, you should not see the receiver tube sticking out when
you look directly into a mirror.
5. If the device whistles, the most likely reason is that the receiver dome is not placed correctly in the ear
canal. Other reasons can be build-up of earwax in the ear canal. It is also possible that the instrument
settings are not optimal. To help you solve these issues it is recommended to contact your hearing care
professional.
Removing:
1. Grasp the receiver tube where it bends, or pull-out cord when using an RIE mold, and pull the receiver
dome out of your ear canal.
i
Note: You should never attempt to bend or modify the shape of the hearing instrument,
RIE molds, or receiver tubing yourself.
2. Lift the hearing instrument of your ear.
