3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install the Connexx Sleeve 3.0 Vented Domes onto your hearing aid:

1. Remove from Packaging: Carefully remove the eartips from their manufacturer-sealed packaging.
2. Choose Size: Select the appropriate size dome for your ear canal. While this product is Extra Small (XS), ensure it provides a comfortable and secure fit.
3. Secure Attachment: Insert the eartip securely onto the receiver of your hearing aid. Ensure it clicks into place or is firmly seated to prevent it from coming off during use.

4. Operating Instructions

The Connexx Sleeve 3.0 Vented Domes function as a critical interface between your hearing aid and your ear canal. Once properly installed, they ensure the hearing aid's receiver is positioned correctly for effective sound delivery and comfort. The vented design allows for natural sound to enter the ear, reducing the occlusion effect and enhancing overall listening experience.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your Connexx Sleeve 3.0 Vented Domes is essential for optimal performance and hygiene:

• Daily Cleaning: Gently wipe the domes with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove earwax and debris.
• Replacement Schedule: For maximum speech clarity and to prevent blockages, it is recommended to replace Connexx 3.0 Sleeves monthly, or immediately if your hearing aid becomes blocked or stops working due to dome issues.
• Waxguard Compatibility: These domes are designed to work in conjunction with Connexx 3.0 Nanocare Waxguards. Ensure both components are replaced as recommended for best results.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your hearing aid related to the domes, consider the following:

• No Sound or Weak Sound: Check if the dome is clogged with earwax. Clean it thoroughly or replace it if necessary. Ensure the dome is securely attached to the hearing aid.
• Discomfort or Poor Fit: Re-evaluate the dome size. Although this product is Extra Small, individual ear canal sizes vary. Ensure the dome is inserted correctly and not causing pressure points.
• Dome Detachment: Verify that the dome is firmly clicked onto the hearing aid's receiver. If it frequently detaches, the dome or receiver might be worn and require replacement.

If problems persist, consult your hearing care professional or the hearing aid manufacturer's support.
