Cleaning your slim tubes and domes
You should have
the slim tubes and
domes replaced
by your hearing
healthcare
professional approximately every three to six
months or when they become stiff, brittle, or
discolored.
Clean the outside of the domes at the end of
each day with a damp cloth.
You should also clean the slim tubes
periodically, with the cleaning pin provided,
when you begin to notice debris in and around
the tubes.
1. Hold the slim tube in one hand and the
hearing aid in the other hand.
2. Gently turn the hearing aid until it detaches
from the slim tube.
3. Use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the
slim tube and dome.
4. Remove the dome from the slim tube by
pulling gently, before cleaning the slim tube.
5. Using the black cleaning
pin provided in the
kit, gently insert the
cleaning pin where the
slim tube attaches to the
hearing aid and push the
pin all the way through the tube.
Note: The slim tubes and domes should never
be rinsed or submerged in water as water drops
may become lodged in the tube, block sound
or damage the electrical components of the
hearing aid.
6. Once the slim tube has been cleaned,
reattach it by gently turning the hearing aid
onto the slim tube.
7. Reattach the dome to the slim tube by gently
pushing it back onto the threading at the
end of the tube. You will feel the dome click
onto the ridges of the slim tube, and you
won’t be able to push it any further.
