Selecting the Right Size Tube
The Hybrid includes 3 different size tubes: Small, Medium and Large. Place the
Hybrid over your ear, with the medium tube attached. If the tube is too short, the
Hybrid’s back end will be up and the front end will be down. In this case, see Step
4 to change to the large, 3B tube. If the tube is too long, the Hybrid’s back end
will be too low and the front end will be too high. In this case, see Step 4 to
change to the small 1B tube. Right tubes are labeled in red print, left tubes in blue.
