Installation and Replacement
Follow these steps to properly install or replace your Oticon Minifit Open 6mm Domes:
- Remove Old Dome: Gently grasp the old dome and pull it straight off the receiver. Dispose of the old dome responsibly.
- Clean Receiver: Ensure the receiver tip is clean and free of wax or debris before attaching a new dome.
- Attach New Dome: Align the new dome with the receiver tip. Push the dome firmly onto the receiver until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully seated and not loose.
- Verify Security: Lightly tug on the dome to confirm it is securely attached before inserting the hearing aid into your ear.

Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance of your hearing aid domes is crucial for optimal sound quality and hygiene. Domes should be replaced periodically, typically every few weeks or as recommended by your audiologist, or if they appear damaged or discolored.
- Daily Cleaning: Gently wipe the domes with a clean, dry cloth daily to remove any earwax or debris.
- Avoid Liquids: Do not use water or cleaning solutions directly on the domes or receiver unless specifically instructed by your audiologist, as this can damage the hearing aid.
- Wax Guards: For best sound experience and to prevent wax buildup in the receiver, use genuine Oticon Minifit ProWax Filters in conjunction with your domes. These filters should also be replaced regularly.

Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your hearing aid's sound quality, consider the following:
- Reduced Sound: A common cause of reduced or distorted sound is a clogged dome or wax guard. Replace the dome and/or the ProWax filter.
- Loose Dome: If the dome feels loose, remove it and reattach it firmly, ensuring it clicks into place. If it continues to be loose, it may be worn and require replacement.
- Incorrect Size: If the dome feels uncomfortable or does not provide adequate sound, you may be using the wrong size. Consult with your audiologist to determine the most suitable dome size for your ear. Oticon offers a mixed set for size identification.
- Receiver Check: It is advisable to check your hearing aid receiver every six months. If the sound quality is consistently poor despite dome and filter changes, the receiver may need professional inspection or replacement.
