First, choose the type
Guidance on size choice is at the top of
the page. As a rough guide - if the
measurement is 26mm or less = 0, 27mm
to 30mm = 1, 31mm to 34mm = 2,
35mm+ = 3.
Guidance on size: Small domes are
about 5mm wide / diameter. Medium
is 7mm (by far the most popular type),
Large about 10mm. Plus domes are
the tuLip shaped type, for more severe
hearing losses. Plus domes are more
likely to inhibit whistling (FEEDBACK)
but more likely to cause OCCLUSION
(the sensation of your own voice
sounding louder).
