- Ensure your hearing aid is clean and free of debris.

- Align the opening of the dome with the receiver (speaker) of your hearing aid.
- Carefully push the dome onto the receiver until it is firmly seated and secure. Do not force it.

3.2 Inserting the Hearing Aid
Once the dome is securely attached, insert the hearing aid into your ear canal as instructed by your audiologist or hearing aid manual. The dome should sit comfortably and snugly within your ear, providing a good seal without causing discomfort.

Regular maintenance of your Connexx Sleeve 3.0 Vented Domes is essential for hygiene and to ensure consistent sound quality.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the domes with a clean, dry cloth to remove any earwax or moisture.
- Monthly Replacement: For maximum speech clarity and hygiene, it is recommended to replace your Connexx 3.0 Sleeves monthly.
- Wax Guard Replacement: If your hearing aid uses Connexx 3.0 Nanocare Waxguards, replace them monthly in conjunction with the domes, or whenever your hearing aid's sound is blocked.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use alcohol, solvents, or other harsh chemicals to clean the domes, as this can damage the silicone material.
5. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your hearing aid related to the domes, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
