Corda 2 tubes are marked as follows: for example a left size 2 tube will read (in blue) ‘2 0.9‘ (0.9 means the tube is 0.9mm diameter – all Corda 2 tubes are. 2 is the size – range from 0-3)
You must use Corda domes with Corda 2 tubes.
If you do not know what size of tube you need:
have a look near the tip of your old tubes – there should be a number usually Red on the left and Blue on the right.

If you want to convert a mould hearing aid to thin tube:
Then you’ll need the Oticon Corda 2 thin tube conversion kit – (For 2 aids) The adaptors, pins and pin tool to allow the user to convert an NHS Spirit / Synergy / Zest hearing aid from a standard ear hook and mould to a thin tube type – you’ll also need CORDA 2 TUBES and DOMES, purchased separately. Here’s a guide:
Guidance on Corda 2 dome size: Small domes are about 5mm wide / diameter. Medium is 7mm (by far the most popular type), Large about 10mm. Plus domes are the tulip-shaped type, for more severe hearing losses. Plusdomes are more likely to inhibit whistling (FEEDBACK) but more likely to cause OCCLUSION (the sensation of your own voice sounding louder).
Replace your thin tubes at least ONCE A YEAR for optimal performance
