Make sure the earmould and tubing are completely free of moisture.

Wash the earmould only at least once a week.

Check if there is any wax in the earmould.

Is the hole in the earmould blocked with wax?

An earmould is individually made for each ear.

Many children will choose to use an earmould purely as an "anchor" to stop the microphone falling off during active play.

Clean the earmould and tubing in warm soapy water.

An earmould puffer would assist in this task.

A wire carries the amplified electrical signal to an earmould with an earphone attached.

If you use a hearing aid the earmould may interfere with the natural process of ear skin and wax moving down your ear.

Is the earmould clean?

Infected or runny ears prevent the wearing of a closely fitting earmould and often accompany a hearing loss caused by otitis media.

You can separate the earmould from the hearing aid and then wash the earmould in soapy water.

OUTPUT - the hearing aid sends the amplification sound into the ear through the earmould.

A friction hook, or ear hook, positions the aid behind the ear and connects the earmould to the hearing aid.

If the behind the ear earmould is very dirty, remove the earmould from the hearing aid and wash it in warm soapy water.

For the first time in the United Kingdom a commercial earmould laboratory has been set up primarily to provide for the needs of severely and profoundly deaf children.

ITE and ITC hearing aids have all their components fitted into the earmould, and the aid sits entirely within the ear or canal.

An earmold (ear mold British ear mould or earmould) is a device worn inserted into the ear for sound conduction or ear protection.

This happens when the amplified sound that the hearing aid makes is picked up by the aid and fed back into it. It may happen if: You have not put the earmould in properly - push it gently to check.

The hearing aid subsidy originally covered the total cost of a locally produced hearing aid and earmould, but over time it has not kept up with inflation, and now is only a small contribution towards the cost of hearing aids (see Table 1).

Are there any cracks or rough edges on the earmold?

Dry thoroughly before connecting the earmold back to the hearing aid.

Have your child chew gum when having a new earmold impression made.

Body aids consist of a case and an earmold, attached by a wire.

Acoustic feedback problems can be associated with a defective earmold tube.

A poor impression will result in a poor earmold and we can only duplicate what you have sent them.

The replacement earmold and impression fee guideline has been changed to one every two years for adults only.

BTE hearing aids fit behind the ear and are connected to a custom made earmold.

Our second concern in regard to Reserved Acts deals with the injection of earmold impression material into the earcanal.

Behind the ear aids (BTE) consist of a case, an earmold or dome and a connection between them.

The case contains the electronic amplifier components, controls and battery while the earmold typically contains a miniature loudspeaker.

The shape of the earmold is a factor, with larger and heavier designs capable of delivering greater GBF.

Mini BTEs may have a comfortable ear piece for insertion ("open fit"), but may also use a traditional earmold.

The color of the case and earmold of a BTE aid can be modified and optional decorations can be added.

BTE hearing instruments that place the loudspeaker directly in the ear without a fitted earmold are often referred to as "Receiver in the Canal" instruments.

An earmold (ear mold British ear mould or earmould) is a device worn inserted into the ear for sound conduction or ear protection.

In 1970, Austin purchased Starkey Laboratories, a small earmold company and merged it with Professional Hearing Aid Service, retaining the Starkey name.

Keep the earmold clean, use an earmold spray cleaner or disconnect the earmold from the hearing aid and wash it with mild soap and warm water.

Traditionally, ITEs have not been recommended for young children because their fit could not be as easily modified as the earmold for a BTE, and thus the aid had to be replaced frequently as the child grew.

If the sound is routed electrically, the speaker (receiver) is located in the earmold or an open-fit dome, while acoustically coupled instruments use a plastic tube to deliver the sound from the case's loudspeaker to the earmold.
