Selection Chart for Acoustic Options
All BTE models covered in this Fitting Guide can either be tted with a conventional earhook or with a
thin tube system. Traditional earhooks are used with a custom earmold.
The thin tube systems can be combined with a variety of different domes and customized earpieces.
All Compact Power Plus, Compact Power, Power, Micro and Nano BTEs can be tted with the Spira
Flex and the miniFit thin tube system.
Please note that, for each BTE model, in the tting software only one set of options (either Spira Flex
or miniFit) is given. However, the table below will help you make the appropriate selection when you
wish to use the other set of options.
