Pico RITE Hearing Systems – Overview
The Pico RITE receiver-in-the-ear hearing instrument is easy to handle and comfortable to wear. The
small RITE instrument, in combination with sophisticated technology, delivers tangible end-user
benets. This guide is designed to help you t and manage Pico RITE hearing systems.
Pico RITE hearing systems offer three speaker units:
·The 60-Speaker, which is appropriate for mild to moderate hearing losses
·The 85-Speaker, which is appropriate for moderate to moderately severe hearing losses
·The 100-Speaker, which provides additional power for severe hearing losses

Selecting the Speaker Unit Length
Four receiver lengths are available for all speakers. No. 1 is the shortest, while no. 4 is the longest.
Before tting Pico RITE hearing instruments, it is necessary to determine the correct speaker unit
length. The measurement procedure is the same for all speaker units.
CN_ILLU_NRMeasurementT ool_BW_HI
Place the measurement tool over the ear, keeping the top line
horizontal. With your eyes at the same level as the ear, determine
which mark is closest to an imaginary line running over the top of
the ear canal. In this example, the correct choice is size 2.
11 JU_ILLU_PR_WirePerfect_BW
Power Molds will have a better t if you choose a slightly longer
wire length than you would when tting a Power Dome. If the
top of the ear canal falls between two numbers on the gauge,
choose the higher number.
CN_ILLU_NR_Wearing instrument2_BW_HI_r
If the speaker unit wire is too long, the hearing instrument will
fall back over the ear and the microphones will point vertically
instead of horizontally. It is also unlikely that the receiver wire will
t the contours of the ear correctly.
10 JU_ILLU_PR_WireTooShort_BW
If the speaker unit wire is too short, it will have a tendency to
move out of the ear canal, and the hearing instrument will lose
stability on the ear.

Attaching the Speaker Unit to a Pico RITE Hearing System
The correct speaker unit attachment is imperative. The following instructions apply to all types of
speaker units for Pico RITE hearing systems.
1 Slide the connector plug into the connector socket
of the instrument
2 Ensure that the snap on the connector plug is
completely inserted into the opening on the
hearing instrument housing
3 To test the attachment of the speaker unit to the
hearing instrument, gently pull the speaker wire
near the connection to the hearing instrument as
shown. If the speaker comes off, then it was not
attached properly.
Speaker units can easily sustain internal
damage if dropped. Before you attach the
speaker unit, please place a dome on the
speaker to protect it.

Detaching the Speaker Unit from a Pico RITE
Hearing System
1 Hold the instrument rmly with one hand, and
with the other hand hold the multi tool. Place the
pointed end of the tool underneath the locking
snap and push it up until the connector plug is
free.
2 Gently pull the connector plug out of the socket.
If it does not come out easily, verify that the snap
is completely free.
Do not attempt to detach the speaker unit
by pulling on the wire. This could damage
both the speaker unit and the hearing
instrument.

60- and 85-Speaker Units
The 60- and 85-Speaker units are suitable for mild to moderately severe losses and come in four
lengths. They can be used for instant and custom ttings.
To obtain a more secure hold in the ear canal, an ear grip should be used. There are two different
types of ear grips: one for the 60-Speaker and one for the 85-Speaker. Ensure that you apply the
proper ear grip with the corresponding speaker.
If the ear grip seems too long, it may be trimmed to the desired length. Be careful not to leave a
sharp end when cutting since this could cause irritation on the skin.
Attaching the Ear Grip to the 60-Speaker
1 Bring the tip of the speaker close to the ear grip opening
2 Push the speaker through the opening
3 The left/right marking on the speaker unit must be completely uncovered

Attaching the Ear Grip to the 85-Speaker
1 Bring the tip of the speaker close to the ear grip opening
2 Push the speaker through the opening as far as possible

Custom Molds for the 60- and 85-Speaker
For custom ttings, two different types of molds can be attached to the 60- and 85-Speaker, the
Micro Mold and the Lite Tip. Both come with an adapter already inserted, colored red (right) or blue
(left) to indicate which ear. The color dot on the top of the custom mold indicates the front and top
position in the ear canal.

Tools for Custom Molds
There are two separate tools that can be used to attach and detach the 60- and
85-Speaker. A marking on the tool indicates for which speaker type it is intended.
A custom mold built for one type of
speaker unit, cannot be attached to
another one.

Attaching the Lite Tip and the Micro Mold to the Speaker Unit
1 Use the tool which is appropriate for the speaker. Place the receiver into the cup pin of the tool and
push the wire into the groove to obtain a stable attachment. The curve of the speaker and the tool
should face the same direction. Make sure that the ProWax miniFit is on the receiver (refer to
page 16).
2 Before inserting the receiver into the mold, turn the receiver so that the wire and “up” marking
on the mold are properly aligned. Carefully center the receiver in the middle of the adapter before
pushing it in. Insert the receiver into the Custom Mold. Place the mold against the table and push
the receiver rmly in place. Gently pull the wire to make sure that the speaker is inserted properly.
Cover the sound outlet with a ProWax lter.
3 Make sure that the mold sits correctly in the patient’s ear and check the position of the wire.
If necessary, the wire is bendable by heating.
Detaching the Lite Tip and the Micro Mold from the Speaker
1 Remove the ProWax from the Custom Mold (refer to page 16)
2 Press the pointed end of the tool into the mold to release the speaker unit while rmly holding the
mold
3 Push the tool into the mold. The mold will disengage with a click.

00-Speaker Unit for Power Fittings
The 100-Speaker unit is intended for severe hearing losses. This speaker comes in two versions: one
version is for instant ttings and one version is for custom ttings.
100-Speaker for Instant Fittings with Domes
Refer to page 6 to see which types of domes can be used to t the 100-Speaker unit.

1 100-Speaker unit
2 Sound outlet with ProWax miniFit
The 100-Speaker for custom ttings comes pre-attached in a custom Power Mold that ts the ear
canal. The wire is attached separately to the mold in the appropriate length. To choose the
appropriate speaker wire length, refer to page 8. The wire can be replaced via a connector system on
the Power Mold faceplate.
A specic tool should be used to attach and detach the wire from the Power Mold.

Changing the Wax Filters
Wax Protection
The Pico RITE hearing instrument offers two types of wax lters, the ProWax and the ProWax
miniFit.
For an overview on the use of these lters, refer to page 6.
The wax lters should be changed as needed, to ensure efcient wax protection, and to prolong the
life of the speaker unit. Visually inspect the lters. If they are clogged or there is no sound coming
from the device, replace them.
1 Remove a tool from the turtle
2 Insert its empty end into the old lter and pull it out
3 Push a new lter into the sound outlet
4 Discard the used tool. It cannot be reused.
