These small, translucent dark gray silicone domes are designed to fit onto Starkey hearing aids, providing a comfortable and secure fit within the ear canal. Each ear bud features a closed design for optimal sound delivery and a small attachment point for the hearing aid receiver.

2. Setup and Installation

Installing the Ear Bud

1. Before inserting the ear bud, ensure your hearing aid is turned off.
2. To insert, gently pull up on the top of your ear to straighten the ear canal.
3. Carefully insert the ear bud until it is comfortable and sits snugly in the ear.

Removing the Ear Bud

1. To remove, first tilt your head toward the ear from which you are removing the ear bud.
2. Then, gently pull the ear bud out while still holding onto the hearing aid.

3. Operating Instructions

Once the ear bud is securely attached to your Starkey hearing aid and properly inserted into your ear, you can power on your hearing aid. The closed/occluded design of these ear buds helps to direct sound effectively into the ear canal, providing clear audio and reducing sound leakage. Ensure the ear bud remains comfortably seated for optimal performance throughout the day.

4. Maintenance

Cleaning

• Clean the ear buds regularly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain hygiene and functionality.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the silicone.

Replacement

• Replace the ear buds when they become worn, damaged, or discolored.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacement to ensure proper fit and function.

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues such as reduced sound quality, discomfort, or the ear bud not staying in place, consider the following:

• Poor Sound Quality: Ensure the ear bud is clean and free of debris. A clogged ear bud can significantly reduce sound clarity.
• Discomfort: Verify that the ear bud is correctly inserted and not causing pressure points. If discomfort persists, consult with your audiologist to ensure the 6mm size is appropriate for your ear canal.
• Loose Fit: If the ear bud feels loose or falls out, it may be worn out and require replacement. Ensure it is securely attached to the hearing aid receiver.
• Feedback (Whistling): This can occur if the ear bud is not properly sealed in the ear canal or if it is damaged. Re-insert the ear bud or replace it if necessary.

For persistent issues, contact your hearing aid specialist or the manufacturer for further assistance.
