CHECKED YOU HAVE A NEW BATTERY INSERTED,
•
CHANGED THE WAX GUARD

and PINCHED THE DOME WITH A WET WIPE,
…It may be that the SPORTS LOCK HAS BECOME DISLODGED:
This is how the SPORTS LOCK should look
Please note the lock ‘loop’ is right at the end of the receiver / metal block
Sports Lock
SPORTS LOCK WRONGLY POSITIONED!
Over time the lock may be dislodged with clumsy removing of the dome or
poor aid insertion technique, or just from wear and tear (it will loosen, discolour
and slip down over time)
To Fix,
1. Remove the dome (with thumb nail placed firmly on its underside (the trunk of
the dome) - don’t grab the ‘spokes’ as the dome will rip or stretch)
2. Lever off the sports lock to replace it,
Or temporarily, slide it back up to the top of the receiver block, ie furthest away
from the dome
Or, call your Hearing Healthcare Professional
3. Slide on a new sports lock (the loop end is square)
4. The sports lock should be aiming away from the ear - as shown in the picture
5. The lock should be slid on so as to be pointing away / towards your nose
Finally, curve the lock in your fingers to coax it in the right direction
