You Received Your Ear Gear - Now what?

Once you have your Ear Gear, it's important to install your hearing device correctly.  Ear Gear is made of a synthetic fabric which allows stretching for installation and then sets back into shape. Over time, with the warmth of your head,  Ear Gear will mold slightly to the shape of your hearing aids.

The following video shows the installation of Ear Gear onto your device.

Remember: Ear Gear should fit snuggly but not too tight on your hearing device.

Tips and Tricks

If you have an ear mold you can not remove or slide through the sleeve, we would recommend "Reverse Loading".  Turn the sleeve with the wide end up, and insert your hearing aid into the wide end of the sleeve. 

 

 

If you have difficulty feeling the buttons and switches on your hearing aid, simply "Slide the seam" away from them.  Because of Ear Gears mold ability, there is no change to the performance of Ear Gear and your hearing aid.

 

 

 

If you are using Ear Gear Eyeglasses and your eyeglasses arm will not slide through the little rubber O rings, we recommend warming up the O rings with a hairdryer to allow the rubber to stretch over the arm. The O ring can stretch up to 1cm.
