Inserting/Removing hearing instruments
Insertion (custom RIE and UP molds)
1. Hold the RIE mold between your thumb and index finger and position its sound
outlet in your ear canal.
2. Slide the RIE mold all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.
3. Move the RIE mold up and down and gently press to ensure it is positioned correctly
in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
4. Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.
By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing
instruments should fit snugly but comfortably. If hearing instruments cause irritation of
the ears, contact your hearing care professional.
i
Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, RIE molds, or tubing yourself.

Tip: It may be helpful to pull the top of your ear back with your opposite hand during insertion to open
the ear canal.
