2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the Connexx Sleeve 3.0 M Vented dome is crucial for optimal performance and comfort.
- Select Correct Size: Before installation, ensure you have selected the appropriate size (medium, as indicated by this product) for your ear canal. While this product is medium, Connexx Sleeve 3.0 M Vented domes are generally suitable for small, medium, or large size ear canals due to their flexible design.
- Prepare Hearing Aid: Ensure your Signia or Rexton RIC hearing aid is clean and free from any debris.
- Attach the Dome: Gently but firmly fasten the Connexx Sleeve 3.0 M Vented dome onto the receiver of your hearing aid. Ensure it is seated securely and does not wobble. Refer to the diagram below for visual guidance.

The image shows a step-by-step process: first, align the sleeve with the receiver, then gently push it into place until it is securely fastened. An incorrect attachment method is also shown, indicating that the sleeve should not be forced or misaligned.
The packaging also displays a UPC barcode: 0105714880115246 and manufacturer information: WSAUD A/S, Nymøllevej 6, 3540 Lynge, Denmark.
3. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Connexx Sleeve 3.0 M Vented dome functions by providing a comfortable and secure fit for your hearing aid within the ear canal. The vented design allows for natural sound perception and reduces the occlusion effect, which can make your own voice sound unnatural.
The silicone material ensures the hearing aid remains comfortably positioned, preventing it from accidentally coming off during daily activities. For optimal speech clarity, ensure the sleeve is always clean and properly seated.
4. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance of your Connexx Sleeve 3.0 M Vented domes is essential for hygiene, performance, and longevity.
- Daily Cleaning: The medical-grade silicone material is easy to wipe and clean. After each use, gently wipe the dome with a soft, dry cloth to remove any earwax or debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Monthly Replacement: To achieve maximum speech clarity and prevent blockages, it is recommended to replace Connexx 3.0 Sleeves monthly. This should be done along with the replacement of Connexx 3.0 Nanocare Waxguards (sold separately), or whenever your hearing aid becomes blocked and stops working effectively.
- Storage: Store unused domes in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
5. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your hearing aid related to the Connexx Sleeve, consider the following:
- Hearing Aid Blocked or Not Working: If your hearing aid is blocked or has stopped working, the most common cause is accumulated earwax. Replace both the Connexx Sleeve and the Nanocare Waxguard.
- Sleeve Slipping Out or Not Staying Secure:
- Ensure the dome is securely fastened to the hearing aid receiver.
- Verify that you are using the correct size dome for your ear canal. While this product is medium, individual ear canal sizes can vary. If slipping persists, consult with your audiologist to confirm the appropriate dome size.
- Check for excessive earwax buildup in your ear canal, which can affect the fit.
- Discomfort or Irritation: Ensure the dome is clean and properly inserted. If discomfort persists, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional or audiologist.
