RIC Hearing Aid Click Domes
The Signia Siemens, Rexton, Miracle Ear, Hearing Aid Domes “click” over the end of the receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids. They appear as small plastic bell-shaped pieces which insert into the ears. A well fitted dome can make a significant difference in the comfort, quality and experience while wearing hearing aids. Specifically, they attach to the end of the receiver tubes and offer the comfort of an open fitting. Also termed as ear buds or ear tips, these click domes are advised to be replaced every 6 to 10 weeks depending on the frequency of use and user maintenance. Prior to inserting the Signia Siemens, Rexton, Miracle Ear RIC hearing aids, it is recommended to ensure that new domes are firmly pushed onto the receiver tubes.
