Domes for Hearing Aids – Comfort, Sound, and Protection in One! Domes, also called tips, are small, soft silicone covers placed at the end of the external speaker or thin sound tube of hearing aids. They sit directly in the ear canal and play a crucial role in comfort, sound quality, and the function of the hearing system. Depending on the type of hearing aid, shape of the ear canal, and degree of hearing loss, there are different types of domes: Open Domes: Allow air and natural sounds to pass through – ideal for mild hearing loss. Closed Domes: Provide more shielding and enhance lower tones – suitable for moderate hearing loss. Power Domes (Double Domes): Offer maximum sound protection – for severe hearing loss. Advantages: Soft material for high wearing comfort Easy cleaning and quick replacement Available in various sizes and types Optimal sound transmission through a precise fit For best performance, domes should be checked regularly and replaced if necessary – ideally every few weeks.
