Replacing the ear tips on Beacon (OTE - Over-the-Ear) hearing aids typically follow these steps. OTE hearing aids usually feature a small dome or open dome ear tip, that comes from small to large size that attaches to the sound tube or receiver. Here's how to replace them:
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Gather Necessary Supplies
- A new set of ear tips (specific to your Beacon hearing aid model).
- A clean, dry cloth or tissue.
2. Remove the Old Ear Tip
-
Hold the Hearing Aid Steady:
- Use one hand to hold the main body of the hearing aid.
-
Gently Pull the Tip Off:
- Grasp the ear tip firmly between your thumb and forefinger.
- Slowly and gently pull it straight off the tubing or receiver. Avoid twisting, as this could damage the tubing.
3. Clean the Tubing/Receiver
- Before attaching a new ear tip, clean the tubing or receiver end with a dry, soft cloth.
- Check for any wax buildup or debris and clear it if necessary.
4. Attach the New Ear Tip
-
Align the New Tip:
- Take the replacement ear tip and locate the opening that fits onto the tube or receiver.
-
Push Firmly but Gently:
- Slide the ear tip onto the tubing or receiver end.
- Push until it is securely attached and doesn’t wobble or feel loose.
5. Test for Fit and Comfort
- Place the hearing aid back in your ear to ensure the new tip fits comfortably and securely.
- If it feels loose or uncomfortable, recheck the attachment or try a different size ear tip.
Additional Tips
- Use the Correct Size: Ear tips come in various sizes. Use the size that fits your ear canal comfortably and provides a good seal for optimal hearing aid performance.
- Regular Replacement: Replace ear tips every 3-6 months, or sooner if they show signs of wear or damage.
- Consult the Manual: Your Beacon hearing aid manual might have specific instructions tailored to your model.
