Everyone’s ears are different. Measuring the correct receiver wire length helps ensure your hearing aids are comfortable and provide optimal sound performance.
Signs your receiver wire may be the wrong size:
- Too short: the hearing aid pulls or doesn’t sit comfortably behind your ear.
-
Too long: the wire is loose, creating a gap or allowing the hearing aid to move around.
All of our hearing aids come with Size 2 receiver wires , which is the most common size but we are able to provide four different sizes on request.
How to measure your ears

What you need:
Your Ear Measuring Tool, included in your Jabra Enhance box.
Step by Step instructions:
- Remove the hearing aids from your ears and glasses if you wear them.
- Take out the Ear Measuring Tool from your Jabra Enhance box.
- Use the red side for your right ear.
- Use the blue side for your left ear.
- Place the straight edge of the tool over the top of your ear, like a pair of glasses. Keep it straight. ( look at the photo above for an example)
-
Take two photos, one for each ear (like the one above):
- Point the camera directly at the ear you’re measuring.
- Make sure the entire ear and measuring tool are clearly visible.
- It may help to ask a friend or family member to take the photo.
- Pro tip: Make sure the tool isn’t covering your ear.
- Send your two photos to our Customer Support team via email, with a short description of what's going on.
What happens next?
Our team will review the two images to determine if a different size is needed, depending on which number on the measuring tool aligns the best with the top of the cartilage.
If a different size is needed, our team will send you a new size and you will receive an email with the shipping confirmation. This process may take 3 to 7 business days.
If you can't find your ear measuring tool, you can print one or ask our Support team to send you a new one.
