How-To: Re-Tube An Earmold
Supplies needed:
Reamer Tool
Cement (acrylic for hard molds, silicone for soft molds)
Preformed Tubing
Tube Puller
Scissors
Alcohol pad or disinfectant wipe
You may need a tube expander to stretch the tube when reattaching it to the hearing aid. If you are uncertain whether you need a tube expander, please contact the earmold lab or your hearing aid manufacturer before removing the old tubing.
1. Run the earmold under hot water.
2. Remove old tubing with a smooth, gentle motion. Do not pull hard or tug, as excessive force could rip the tubing.
3. Remove any tubing bits from inside the hole, using a tubing reamer.
4. Apply cement inside the hole of the earmold.
5. Thread tube puller through the hole. Place the tip of the quilled end of the tube through the loop.
6. Pull firmly until the tubing is through the earmold. Then position for comfort.
7. Carefully cut the tube as close to the earmold as possible.
8. Wipe earmold with a disinfectant cloth, and reattach to hearing aid.
