Cleaning the Earmould

The earmould should be cleaned regularly:

1.  Remove the earmould and the tubing from the hearing instrument 

before you clean it.

2.  To clean the earmould, rinse with 

lukewarm water.

3.  If ear wax is stuck in the sound  

canal of the earmould, the  
cleaning loop or a syringe with  
lukewarm water can be used to 
“push” the wax out.

4.  Blow gently through the tubing to remove moisture trapped inside.
5.  Be sure to thoroughly dry the earmould and its tubing before  

reconnecting it to the hearing instrument.

The tubing connecting the earmould to the hearing instrument should be 
changed if it becomes stiff or brittle. Contact your hearing care profes-
sional to change the tubing when needed.

Cleaning the Tube and Dome

The tube and the dome should be cleaned regularly:

1.  Remove the tube from the instrument before cleaning by 
  unscrewing it.
2.  Use a damp cloth to clean the tube and 

dome on the outside.

3. Use the black cleaning rod to “push” 

any debris out of the tube. The clean-
ing rod should be inserted where the 
tube attaches to the instrument and 
pushed all the way through the tube 
and out through the dome.

Note!

It is not recommended to submerge or rinse the tube and dome with 
water, as water can close the tube. If this should occur, it will prevent 
sound coming through the tube, and may be harmful for the instru-
ment’s electronics.

The tube and dome should be changed every third month or sooner if 
the tube becomes stiff or brittle.
