Hearing Aid Thin Tubes
$10.00 each
Thin Tubes for HearSource and many other brands hearing aids. These thin tubes are robust, semi-rigid conduits channel sound into your ear canal from the BTE hearing aid’s receiver. Their small thin design makes them nearly invisible and weightless.
Description
Hearing aid thin tubes transmit sound from the hearing aid into your ear canal. They are a core component to the actually delivery of sound from your hearing aid to your ear. Over time, hearing aid thin tubes can become worn, hard, soft, shrink or stretch out of shape. When this happens, they need replaced. Replacing damaged hearing aid thin tubes is important for the proper function of your hearing aid. HearSource stocks a wide variety of hearing aid thin tubes for most hearing aid brands.
It is recommended that you change your tubing every three to six months depending on its use.
Basic BTE Couplings
BTE (Behind-The-Ear) hearing aid couplings are either considered “Standard or Traditional” or “Thin Tube“. The difference in a Standard BTE tube and the Thin Tube design is the diameter of the tube connecting the hearing aid to ear-canal.
Hearing Aid Thin Tubes Sizes
Thin Tubes are available in short, medium, and long lengths, and numbered “0” thru “6” depending on the brand of hearing. The size/length of the thin tube is noted by the appropriate number (size) on the end of the tube that fits into the ear. Markings in red identify the thin tube is for the right ear and blue markings identify that the thin tube is for the left ear. Thin tube sizes can be generally be approximated to a person’s height.
- Short tubes – Children and small or shorter-sized people
- Medium tubes – Average-sized adults with average sized ears
- Long tubes – Tall people
Hearing Aid Thin Tube Diagram
Thin Tubes are pre-bent or pre-shaped and serves the purpose to deliver the sound from the hearing aid into the ear and also hold the hearing aid in place on or behind the ear. The thin tube connects to the hearing aid just behind the top and slightly behind the ear. Properly fit, the thin tube should follow the contour of the ear so it fits against the skin until it curves into the ear canal opening. The thin tube should be snug, but not tight.
If the area at the top of the ear or ear canal becomes tender within the first few hours of wearing the hearing aid, it indicates that the tube is too short.
If you can feel the hearing aids move with normal head movements or if the tube has a tendency to slip out of the ear canal, the tube is too long.
Thin-Tube Open-fittings
The current thin tube open-fittings (or open-ear fittings) refer to the use of a miniature BTE hearing aid that is coupled to an open ear-tip via a 0.8 mm (inner diameter) tube. Ideally, this leaves the ear canal open for its natural resonance.
Hearing aids with thin tubes are an excellent choice for those with extremely small ear canals. Receiver-In-Canal hearing aids require a bit more room in the ear canal. For some, this just isn’t an option. The Thin Tube hearing aid design is the smallest available option on the market.

Shirley W. From Mesa, AZ. –
Received my replacement ReSound hearing aid thin tubes today. They look just like the ones that came originally with my ReSound hearing aids. They can be a little bit hard to find. This was a normal transaction with HearSource. No issues.
