Connexx Click Domes 8mm Open Hearing Aid Accessories Instruction Manual

Introduction

This instruction manual provides essential information for the proper use and maintenance of your Connexx Click Domes (8mm Open). These domes are designed to be used with compatible hearing aids to ensure optimal sound delivery and comfort. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use.

Product Overview

Connexx Click Domes are small, soft, and flexible silicone tips that attach to the end of a hearing aid receiver or thin tube. They are designed to sit comfortably in the ear canal, directing sound from the hearing aid into the ear. The 8mm Open design allows for natural sound to enter the ear alongside amplified sound, which can improve sound quality and reduce the sensation of a plugged ear.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly attach the Click Dome to your hearing aid:

1. Preparation: Ensure your hands are clean and dry before handling the domes and hearing aid.
2. Remove Old Dome (if applicable): Gently grasp the old dome and pull it straight off the receiver or thin tube. Dispose of the old dome properly.
3. Select New Dome: Take one new 8mm Open Click Dome from the blister pack.
4. Attach New Dome: Align the opening of the new dome with the end of the hearing aid receiver or thin tube. Push the dome firmly onto the receiver/tube until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully seated and not loose.
5. Verify Attachment: Gently tug on the dome to confirm it is securely attached and will not detach during use.

Note: Always use the correct size and type of dome recommended by your hearing care professional for optimal performance and comfort.

Operating Instructions (Daily Use)

Once the Click Dome is securely attached, your hearing aid is ready for use. Insert the hearing aid into your ear as instructed by your hearing care professional. The dome should sit comfortably within your ear canal without causing pressure or discomfort. If you experience any discomfort or the dome feels loose, re-check the attachment or consult your hearing care professional.

Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and replacement of your Click Domes are essential for hygiene, performance, and longevity of your hearing aid.

• Daily Cleaning: Gently wipe the dome with a clean, dry cloth or a specialized hearing aid cleaning wipe after each day's use to remove earwax and debris.
• Avoid Liquids: Do not immerse the dome or hearing aid in water or cleaning solutions.
• Regular Replacement: Domes should be replaced regularly, typically every 2-4 weeks, or sooner if they become stiff, discolored, torn, or if you notice a decrease in sound quality.
• Storage: Store unused domes in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Click Domes, consider the following:

• Dome Feels Loose or Falls Off: Ensure the dome is pushed firmly onto the receiver/tube until it clicks. If it continues to be loose, the receiver/tube might be worn, or the dome might be the wrong size. Consult your hearing care professional.
• Discomfort or Irritation: The dome might be the wrong size or type for your ear canal. Discontinue use and consult your hearing care professional for an assessment.
• Reduced Sound Quality: Check the dome for blockages (e.g., earwax). Replace the dome if it appears dirty or damaged. Also, check the hearing aid's wax guard, as it may need replacement.
