00:00:01:13 - 00:00:25:14 Speaker 1 How to measure your ear to determine the correct size receiver wire. Your hearing aid comes fitted with a size 2 receiver wire. Receiver wires that are too long or too short can cause discomfort and feedback issues in the hearing aid. You received an ear measuring tool with your hearing aids. This tool will help to identify the best size receiver wire for your ears. 00:00:26:13 - 00:00:51:00 Speaker 1 The blue side is used to measure your left ear and the red side is used to measure your right ear. Place the ear measuring tool over the cusp of your ear. The blue side should be showing when it's placed over the left ear and the red side should be showing when it's placed over the right ear. You can ask someone for assistance or you can take a photo of the ear measuring tool whilst it is on your ear. 00:00:52:11 - 00:01:13:20 Speaker 1 Locate the number that is most parallel to the top of your ear canal. Pick the size of the receiver wire that corresponds with the number you located on your ear measuring tool. Each receiver wire either has a red or blue marking on it. The receiver wire with the blue marking is for your left ear and the receiver wire with a red marking is for your right ear. 00:01:14:22 - 00:01:27:00 Speaker 1 Reattach the correct receiver wire to your hearing aid. Place the dome onto the new receiver. The correct size receiver wire should feel comfortable and lay flush against your ear.
