Selecting the Right Size Tube
The Hybrid EX includes 3 different size tubes: Small, Medium and Large. Place the
Hybrid EX over your ear, with the medium tube attached. If the tube is too short,
the Hybrid EX’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 EX’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.
