• Proper Insertion: Gently insert the hearing aid with the dome into your ear canal until it feels snug and comfortable. Avoid forcing it.
• Sound Isolation: The closed design provides maximum sound isolation, which may make your own voice sound different initially. This is normal.
• Comfort: If you experience discomfort, remove the hearing aid and reinsert it. If discomfort persists, consult your hearing care professional.

6. Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and proper care will extend the life of your domes and ensure consistent performance:

• Daily Cleaning: Gently wipe the domes with a clean, dry cloth or a specialized hearing aid cleaning wipe after each use to remove earwax and debris.
• Avoid Liquids: Do not immerse the domes or your hearing aid in water or cleaning solutions.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the domes for any signs of wear, tears, or discoloration. Replace them if they appear damaged or hardened.
• Replacement: Domes should be replaced periodically, typically every 2-4 weeks, or as recommended by your hearing care professional, to maintain hygiene and optimal sound quality.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Connexx 3.0 Large Closed Domes, consider the following:

• Poor Fit or Discomfort:
