Use a damp cloth to clean the sound tube and dome on the outside and use the black cleaning rod to “push” any debris out of the sound tube. The cleaning rod should be inserted where the sound tube attaches to the instrument and pushed all the way through the sound tube and out through the dome.

We recommend that you have your hearing care professional change the Origi- nal Open Dome/Tulip-Domes for you.
