The proper fit and sound quality of your hearing instruments starts with the right dome. Bernafon domes are small, silicone plugs that are placed on the speaker or tube of your hearing system. They provide optimal wearing comfort and influence how you experience sound. Because ears and hearing loss vary from person to person, there are different types and sizes of domes available. At Horend Goed you will find a wide range of Bernafon domes suitable for a variety of Bernafon hearing systems. Not sure which domes you need?

What are Bernafon Domes?

Bernafon domes are essential components of a hearing aid with a receiver-in-the-ear (RIC) or thin tube. They sit directly in the ear and play a major role in how sound is perceived. They affect sound transmission, wearing comfort and the degree of air-tightness.

There are several types of domes available, each with its own characteristics and advantages. Choosing the right dome depends on your hearing loss, your hearing aid and personal preference.

Why are Bernafon Domes important?

1. Comfort and Fit

Domes ensure that the hearing aid sits comfortably and securely in the ear. The right size prevents irritation and ensures that you can wear the device all day without any problems.

2. Optimal Sound Quality

A well-chosen dome helps convey clear and natural sound. Domes that are too small can allow sound to escape, while domes that are too large can make the sound sound unnatural.

3. Reduction of Feedback and Noise.

Proper ear canal closure prevents unwanted feedback (whistling sounds) and ensures a consistent listening experience.

4. Simple Replacement and Maintenance.

Domes wear out over time and can get dirty. They are easy to replace, contributing to the longevity and proper functioning of your hearing aid.

What types of Bernafon Domes are there?

Bernafon offers different types of domes depending on hearing loss and comfort preferences.

  • Open Domes – For an open and natural sound, suitable for mild hearing loss.
  • Closed Domes – Offer better occlusion, ideal for moderate hearing loss.
  • Power Domes – Double layer for maximum occlusion and sound reinforcement, suitable for severe hearing loss.
  • Tulip Domes – Flexible fit with a good balance of open and closed models.

How to choose the right Bernafon Domes?

1. Check Compatibility

Not every dome fits every Bernafon hearing instrument. Please check which domes are suitable for your instrument.

2. Choose the Right Size

Domes are available in different sizes (small, medium, large). Too small a dome may become loose, while too large a dome may be uncomfortable.

3. Determine the Sound Type

Want a more natural sound? Then open domes are suitable. Do you need more amplification? Then choose closed or power domes.

4. Consider Your Hearing Loss.

Mild hearing loss? Open domes. Moderate hearing loss? Closed domes. Severe hearing loss? Power domes.

Maintenance and Replacement of Bernafon Domes

  1. Replace domes regularly – Domes can get clogged with earwax and dirt. Replace them every 1-2 months.
  2. Clean domes – Wipe them daily with a dry cloth and use a special cleaning spray if necessary.
  3. Check the fit – If your dome is loose or feels uncomfortable, it may be time to try a different size or type.
  4. Use original Bernafon domes – Counterfeit domes may not fit as well and affect sound quality.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bernafon Domes

How do I know if I need an open or closed dome?
An open dome is ideal if you still want to hear some natural sound. A closed dome helps with amplified sound and prevents sound from escaping.

How often should I replace my Bernafon domes?
In general, domes are replaced after 1 to 2 months, depending on wear and accumulation of earwax.

Can I replace Bernafon domes myself?
Yes, replacing domes is easy. Just pull the old dome off the speaker or hose and slide a new one on.

What should I do if my dome is loose in my ear?
Try a smaller size if the dome feels too large. If the dome is too small and gets loose, choose a larger size.
