Short Vents
Long Vents
Intiga Micro Moulds use tube-shaped vents, as in tradi-
tional ear moulds, but the length is shorter. Therefore, the
Intiga Micro Mould vent effect is much larger compared to a
traditional vent with the same diameter.
The largest vent possible is made unless specified when
the Intiga Micro Mould is ordered. For further information
about selecting vent sizes and effective vent sizes please
refer to the Genie helpfiles under Acoustics.

Canal RITE Moulds use tube-shaped vents just like Intiga
Micro Moulds. Consequently, the effect of the canal vent is
larger than a traditional vent with the same diameter.
Genie prescribes the vent size (from X Large to no Vent)
when Intiga Micro Mould is selected. To reflect the actual
diameter select the vent size for long vents, e.g. Large
(long).

Attaching the Intiga Micro Mould
When fitting Oticon Intiga RITE hearing devices with Intiga
Micro Moulds follow the instructions below:
Find the correct Receiver unit length and attach it to the
instrument (see Selecting and Fitting Receiver Units).
1.
Carefully insert the Receiver into the Intiga Micro Mould
and push until you hear/feel a click. Position the speaker
and Intiga Micro Mould to be in the same orientation, i.e.
the “up” indicators in the same direction. On the Intiga
Micro Mould, the coloured dot indicates the “up” direction.
The location of the slot for the ear grip indicates the
“up” direction on the Receiver. The curved area on the
Receiver can be used to push it into the Intiga Micro
Mould.
2.
When inserting the Receiver into a modified Intiga Micro
Mould with a longer canal, use the Mould tool to snap
the Receiver more deeply into the Mould, as illustrated
on the following page.
3.
The Mould can rotate axially over an arc of approximately
15° to ensure maximum comfort. Before placing the
Mould in the ear, turn the Mould until the up indicator
points upwards.
