Cleaning ear tube & tip
Between replacements, you’ll need to clean the ear
tube & tip with a cleaning wire, at least once a week .
Remove the ear tube & tip from the hearing aid .
Thread the cleaning wire through the ear tube,
starting at the “hearing aid end,” until it comes out
at the “ear tip end .” Pull the cleaning wire all the
way through . Be sure to wipe off the wire before
the next cleaning .
Clean the ear tip with a dry cloth .
Note:
Ensure the wire goes through the ear tube in
only one direction, from “hearing aid end” to “ear
tip end.”
Do not reverse the wire back through the
ear tube .

Cleaning ear tubes with a double-dome tip
If you have an ear tube with a double-dome tip, you
will need to remove the double-dome to clean it .
Carefully pull the double-dome tip off the tube .
Clean the tube in the manner as described on the
previous page .
Push the double dome back onto the tube . Ensure
the double-dome tip is attached to the tube, but
is not too far on it. You will know it is too far if the
double dome tip is flat on top .
Too far*
(flat on top)
Correct
(rounded on top)
*Flatness is due to the tube decompressing the
vent on the double dome tip . This will reduce the
volume of the sound .
