Inserting your earmold
Inserting your earmold correctly every time, takes
practice, patience and perseverance. If you are
having difficulty inserting your earmolds, please
consult your Hearing Care Professional.
Insert your earmold first,
then position the hearing
instrument over your ear.
• Grasptheearmoldtubing
between your thumb and
index finger. The thumb
should be just behind the
tubing where it enters
the earmold. The top part of the
earmold needs to be pointing
straight up. The canal part of
the earmold should be pointing
towards the ear canal entrance.
• Ifyouhavedifficultyinsertingthe
earmold, pull the ear lobe down
with the other hand, or pull the
top of the ear back and up.

•
Lift the earmold up to your ear.
Push the canal part
of the earmold into the ear canal opening twisting
slightly to ease the helix portion into position. The
helix part should be pointing straight up and should
slip into position.
• Ifyourearisbecomingsorefromtryingtoinsert
the earmold, spread a small amount of Vaseline
around the outer edges of the earmold to help it
slip into position easily. Be careful not to get any
Vaseline into the sound outlet.
If your ear remains
sore please
consult your Hearing Care Professional.
Look in a mirror. If the helix part of the earmold is
visible, it is not inserted correctly.
Run your index finger down the skin just in front of
your ear. If you can touch the helix part of the earmold,
it is not inserted correctly. Use your index finger to
push the helix part of your earmold back behind the
flap of skin. It may help to gently pull this flap of skin
forward with the other hand at the same time.
