Warning to hearing healthcare professional: Domes should never be fitted on patients with perforated eardrums, exposed middle ear cavities, or surgically altered ear canals. In the case of such a condition, we recommend to use a customized ear mold. In the unlikely case that any parts remain in the ear canal after the removal of the hearing instrument, contact a physician immediately.

Measuring for an accurate xReceiver unit
Choosing the correct xReceiver wire length will ensure a more accurate, comfortable fit. The measurement tool included in the kit allows for a quick and simple measurement and has the following features:
Color Code Markings – blue
(left ear) and red (right ear)
0
1
2
3 color code markings to indicate which of the patient’s ears to measure.
2
3
1
0
Horizontal Line Markings – measurements must be made horizontally with the measurement tool touching the skin in the gap between the head and the top of the pinna.
Four Horizontal Sightlines – (0-1-2-3) – to indicate which wire length you should use for an accurate fitting.
To measure for an accurate wire length:
1. Place your head at the same horizontal level as the patient’s head so you are looking straight into the patient’s ear that you wish to fit with the hearing instrument.
2. Hold the measurement tool with the appropriate blue or red color code marking (for the left or right ear) with your thumb placed on the ear diagram.

3. Place the measurement tool on the top of the ear and in contact with the skin in the narrow gap between the head and the pinna.
Keep the horizontal line on the measurement tool horizontal and level.

4. Choose the sightline (0-1-2-3) on the measurement tool that is most parallel with the top of the opening of the ear canal. In this example,

3 the sightline marked 1 would be the most accurate choice.
5. Make a note of the sightline chosen and then repeat steps 1-4 on the opposite ear for a binaural fitting.
Note: It is important to measure the opposite ear for a binaural fitting since right and left ear sizes can vary and thus, require different wire lengths.
Modifying xReceiver wire to improve fit
In some cases, you might find that the wire of the xReceiver unit does not lie close to the side of the head or follow the shape of the ear.
First, ensure the selected dome and xReceiver unit sizes are appropriate
(see following pages).
Poor fit
(tube does not lie close to the head)
If a different xReceiver tube does not fit better, you may need to modify the curvature (bend) slightly using the steps outlined below.
1. Remove the xReceiver unit from the hearing instrument.
Good fit
2. Heat the tube carefully with a hairdryer at a low setting for a few seconds.
3. Do not use excessive heat to avoid damage to the electrical components.
4. Bend the tubing into the desired shape and hold until it has cooled off. Once completely cooled, the tube will maintain its new shape.

Choosing the correct coupling for standard xReceivers
Determine the correct dome size based on your otoscopic examination of the ear canal.
Select the dome type based on the audiometric requirements and fitting ranges shown on this page.
Allow the dome to fit comfortably in the ear canal.

Attaching the retention piece to the standard or power xReceiver unit
The retention piece may be used for fittings with the open or closed dome depending on the patient’s requirements. The retention piece is optional and allows for extra security in the ear. The retention piece can easily be cut shorter to comfortably fit into the patient’s concha bowl.
To attach the retention piece
1. Slide the retention piece over the receiver.
2. The retention piece should be secured over the receiver so it appears as one piece.
9
Attaching the dome or sleeve mold to the standard xReceiver unit
1. Hold the xReceiver unit in one hand and the coupling (i.e. dome or sleeve mold) in the other hand.
2. Slide the appropriate coupling over the receiver.
3. The xReceiver unit and coupling should fit snugly together.
Attaching the power dome to the power xReceiver unit
1. Hold the xReceiver unit in one hand and the power dome in the other hand.
2. Slide the power dome over the receiver.
3. The xReceiver unit and power dome should fit snugly together.

Configuring in Unitron TrueFit software
Detection screen
1. Connect hearing instrument to the NOAHLink,
HI-PRO, or iCube and click the detect icon. Unitron
TrueFit
™
software will display the connected devices and serial numbers.
Note: After connecting to the hearing devices, go to the
Acoustics screen and select the correct receiver and “tip” option.
Acoustics screen
2. Go to the Acoustics screen in the Instruments menu.
3. Select the connected Receiver unit for each hearing instrument from the drop-down lists.
4. Select the connected tip from the drop down list. If applicable, choose the appropriate size of venting.
5. If custom shell is selected and has the IntelliVent technology, enter the IntelliVent code for optimal venting acoustics. The IntelliVent coupling code is inscribed on the custom shell.
Whenever a change to the xReceiver unit or dome is made during the fitting, you need to revisit the
Acoustics screen and specify your choices to allow for correct gain calculations.
Note: Please ensure that the connected xReceiver unit is selected and a QuickFit is performed before inserting hearing instrument into your patient’s ear canal.
Once your setup selection is complete, go to Feedback
Optimization under Fitting.

Using the Moxi

shell removal tool
The shell removal tool is used to remove the top shell from Moxi 2 to access the microphone protector.
Note: Moxi 2 Kiss and Moxi 2 Dura models do not have a replaceable microphone protector. It is not necessary to remove the shell.
Removing the top shell of Moxi 2
1. Open the battery door and insert the tool on a slight angle, inserting one pin on the side of the tool with the notch inside the battery compartment.
2. Twist the tool down in the opposite direction to snap the tool into place.
3. Squeeze the tool in the center to push the shell out of the notches.
4. Lift the shell up and forward off the hearing instrument and over the push button. This allows access to the microphone protector.
14
Replacing the top shell
1. Position the top shell over the push button on the hearing instrument.
2. Then push the shell down and back until it snaps into place.
Microphone protector replacement
The microphone protector prevents moisture and debris damage to the microphone. A clogged microphone protector could affect the performance of the hearing device. If this occurs, the mic protector can be easily replaced.
Removal
1. After removing the top shell (shown on previous page), remove the microphone protector with a tweezer.
Installation
1. Place the new mic protector with a tweezer.
2. Smooth down the mic protector with your finger.
3. Replace the top shell.

How to measure performance in a coupler
RIC devices should be measured with a HA1 coupler since it best reflects the acoustical properties in the ear canal.
The xReceiver kit includes a metal adapter plate that fits on a HA1 coupler and allows for a good connection of the xReceiver unit to the coupler.
Select Activate Test Box Measurement Mode in
Unitron TrueFit software from the menu on the top menu bar. Clicking on Activate Test Box Measurement
Mode disables the adaptive features and activates the omnidirectional microphone mode to allow for correct measurements. Click on Deactivate Test Box
Measurement Mode to reestablish the previous settings.
Attach the standard xReceiver to the metal adapter plate.

Wax guard replacement and cleaning domes
All xReceiver units are equipped with a wax guard system to protect the xReceiver from ear wax. The wax guard can be easily replaced. You will need to counsel your patient on how to replace the wax protector, see instructions included with the replacement packs.
If necessary, the domes and xReceiver units can be wiped with a damp cloth; however, xReceiver units should never be submerged in water to avoid damage to the electrical components.
Removal
1. Push up on the programming cable.
2. Remove the cable.
