What is an Open Dome?
The Open Dome is a lightweight, highly ventilated dome designed to let natural sounds pass through the ear canal freely. It is perfect for users with mild hearing loss—especially high-frequency loss—who want to hear clearly while maintaining a natural, open-ear experience.
Why choose Open Domes?
- Natural Listening Experience: Allows ambient sounds and your own voice to pass through normally, preserving a more lifelike sound.
- No Occlusion Effect: Eliminates the “plugged ear” feeling and echo that can occur with more closed dome types.
- All-Day Comfort: Breathable design prevents pressure build-up, moisture, and discomfort during extended use.
- Ideal for First-Time Users: Low-profile and less intrusive, perfect for users new to hearing aids.
- Discreet Appearance: Transparent or soft-tinted color blends naturally with the ear, staying low-visibility throughout the day.
Choosing the Right Dome: What to Know
Who is it best for?
- Users with mild high-frequency hearing loss
- People who want a natural sound and dislike the closed-in sensation of other domes
- First-time hearing aid users seeking maximum comfort and easy adaptation
- Individuals with good low-frequency hearing who don’t need full amplification
Which Dome Is Right for You?
Which Size Should You Choose?
- Small: Recommended for those with narrow or sensitive ear canals seeking a soft, light fit.
- Medium: The standard size that fits most users comfortably. Great starting point for new users.
- Large: Provides a firmer hold for larger ear canals or for users who prefer a more stable fit during movement.

Domes
All domes are designed as the first line of defense against wax. At the tip of each dome is a small shield that protects the sound inlet (indicated by the green arrow). Domes should be changed at least every three months or when they become stiff or brittle. The client should wipe the dome daily with a dry tissue.
