BTE Earmold Hearing Aid Size #13 Tubes 6 or 12 Packs with FREE SHIPPINGChoose a Package of 6 or 12 Tubes – AND – Choose From 3 Different Tube Wall ThicknessesAll Behind The Ear (BTE) hearing aid tubes harden and should be changed at least every six months. Many people find it beneficial or necessary to change them more frequently. BTE hearing aids become uncomfortable and more difficult to wear as the tubes become progressively stiffer. Also, it is claimed the sound transmission through hearing aid tubes deteriorates as the tubes harden. What Makes the Tubing Harden? Oil from the skin and products used on a person’s hair cause tubes to harden. Additionally, people who spend more time outdoors find their tubes need changing more frequently because the UV rays from sunlight cause tubes to harden faster. All the tubes in this listing are industry standard size #13 and fit most Behind-The-Ear hearing aids for adults. Size #13 tubes are generally manufactured in Three different tube wall thicknesses. The wall thickness on each side of the tube added to the standard Inside Diameter determines the Outside Diameter of the different tubes. This Outside Diameter and a name describing the wall thickness are commonly used to identify the different tubes. The descriptive names and Outside Diameters (O.D.) of the tubes referred to in this listing are as follows:Medium Wall – 0.122″ or 3.2 mm O.D. Thick Wall – 0.130″ or 3.3 mm O.D. Super Thick Wall – 0.142″ or 3.6 mm O.D.If you are undecided about the tube wall thickness that you need, we offer a „sample pack“ containing 2 or 4 of each size (Medium, Thick and Super Thick). ****NOTICE: Tubes that have been modified, installed, attempted to be installed, have come in contact with a personal hearing aid or earmold or used in any way CANNOT be returned for exchange or refund.**** PaymentPayment or contact must be made within seven days or an unpaid item dispute will be opened and feedback will not be left.FeedbackFeedback will be left once the buyer has left feedback, acknowledging that the transaction has been completed and that all is as it should be.
