Home / Hearing Aid Dome Size Chart & Tips for the Right Fit
Hearing aid domes are the soft, flexible tips that attach to the end of your hearing aid’s speaker (receiver). They sit inside the ear canal, helping to deliver sound more directly and securely.
Most domes are made from medical-grade silicone and come in different styles to support specific levels of hearing loss and ear shapes. At Hearwell, we offer open, closed, tulip, and double-layer domes, compatible with Phonak, Signia, ReSound, and Starkey devices.

Each dome style is designed with a different acoustic goal in mind. Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Dome Type | Best For | Sound Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Open Domes | Mild to moderate hearing loss | Natural sound with ambient awareness |
| Closed Domes | Moderate hearing loss | Stronger sound focus and clarity |
| Double-layer (Power) Domes | Moderate to severe loss | Max amplification with reduced feedback |
| Tulip Domes | Varying canal shapes or dexterity needs | Balanced seal with easier handling |
Note: Dome compatibility varies by device brand. Contact us for expert guidance.
| Dome Size | Canal Size (Approx.) | Common Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Small (S) | 6–8 mm | Narrow canals, beginners |
| Medium (M) | 8–10 mm | Average adult use |
| Large (L) | 10–12 mm | Wider canals, secure seal needed |
