What is a Open Smokey Dome?
The Open Smokey Dome is a highly ventilated, lightweight dome designed to offer a natural listening experience. It allows ambient sounds and your own voice to pass through freely, making it ideal for users with mild high-frequency hearing loss who want minimal ear canal blockage.
Why choose Open Smokey Domes?
- Most Natural Sound Perception: Keeps your own voice sounding normal and preserves ambient sounds, providing a more open and natural hearing experience.
- Eliminates Occlusion Effect: No echo or “talking in a barrel” sensation. Ideal for users who dislike the feeling of blocked ears.
- Superior Comfort: Lightweight, breathable design ensures all-day comfort with minimal ear fatigue.
- Almost Unnoticeable: Low-profile fit that’s easy to wear and hardly noticeable during daily use.
- Discreet Aesthetic: The soft “smokey” gray color blends better with skin tone than transparent domes for a more subtle appearance.

Who Is It Best For?
- Users with mild high-frequency hearing loss

- Large: Best for users with larger ear canals or those who want maximum stability, especially during physical activity.

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.
