ReSound Thin Tube Adaptors
ReSound Thin Tube Adaptors are small connection parts used between compatible ReSound BTE hearing aids and their thin tubes. They help create a secure connection between the hearing aid and tubing while maintaining the correct sound path.
ReSound has used different ThinTube adaptor systems across different hearing aid generations, so it is important to choose the adaptor that matches both your hearing aid model and tube system.
What does a ReSound Thin Tube Adaptor do?
On compatible ReSound BTE hearing aids, the thin tube may connect to the hearing aid through a separate adaptor rather than directly to the hearing aid housing.
The adaptor keeps the tube securely positioned and forms the connection through which amplified sound enters the thin tube.
It should not be confused with the thin tube itself, an ear hook or the dome that sits inside the ear.
IFCS61/71 Thin Tube Adaptor
The IFCS61/71 Thin Tube Adaptor is designed for selected ReSound and Danalogic hearing aids that use the corresponding ThinTube connection system.
It can be used as a replacement for the original adaptor when the existing part becomes damaged, worn or no longer connects securely.
If a hearing aid is being changed from a conventional ear hook fitting to a ThinTube fitting, the hearing aid may also need to be reprogrammed by a hearing care professional.
ThinTube Adaptor B70 with filter
The ThinTube Adaptor B70 with filter is designed for compatible ReSound BTE 60 and 70 hearing aids using thin tubes.
This version includes an integrated filter in addition to providing the connection between the hearing aid and tube. The filter helps protect the sound path from earwax, dirt and other residue.
Because the B70 adaptor is designed for a specific connection system, it should only be used with hearing aids and thin tubes that require this adaptor type.
How do I know which ReSound adaptor I need?
ReSound Thin Tube Adaptors are model-specific and are not universally interchangeable.
Before ordering, check:
- The exact model of your ReSound hearing aid
- The ThinTube system currently fitted
- The shape of the existing adaptor
- Whether your current adaptor includes a filter
- The item number of the old adaptor, if available
If you are replacing an existing adaptor, the safest option is to choose the same adaptor type and item number.
When should a Thin Tube Adaptor be replaced?
A ReSound Thin Tube Adaptor does not need to be replaced at a fixed interval. Replace it if it becomes cracked, loose, damaged or no longer holds the thin tube securely.
For adaptor versions with an integrated filter, reduced or muffled sound can also indicate that the filter has become blocked.
If sound remains weak after replacing or checking the adaptor, inspect the thin tube and earpiece for wax, moisture or blockage as well.
Adaptors and newer ReSound ThinTube systems
Newer ReSound hearing aids may use different ThinTube and connection systems than older BTE models. An adaptor made for an older ReSound fitting should not automatically be assumed to fit a newer hearing aid.
Always match the adaptor to the exact hearing aid and tube system rather than choosing based only on brand.
