Bernafon Lexon BTE series accessories compatibility guide | Japebo
If you’re looking for Bernafon Lexon BTE series accessories, the most important step is confirming which exact Lexon BTE style you have and how sound is delivered to your ear (classic tube and earhook, thin tube, or a receiver-in-ear style where the speaker sits in the ear). This guide explains the most common accessory types used with the Bernafon Lexon BTE series, how to check compatibility, and what to choose when you’re replacing worn parts.
What “BTE” means for Bernafon Lexon accessories
BTE (Behind-The-Ear) hearing aids sit behind the ear and connect to the ear via tubing and an earmould, a thin tube with a dome, or (in some families) a receiver wire with a dome. Because of these variations, accessories are not “one-size-fits-all” even within the Lexon BTE series. When shopping, compatibility typically depends on:
Your exact Lexon model/variant (printed on paperwork/box, sometimes on the device body)
The sound outlet setup: earhook + earmould tubing, thin tube, or receiver wire
Connector type (e.g., tube/earhook size or receiver connector generation)
Ear-coupling size (dome size or mould type)
Accessories most commonly used with the Bernafon Lexon BTE series
Depending on your configuration, you may need one or more of the following accessory types:
Domes (if your Lexon BTE uses thin tube or receiver wire)
Domes are the soft eartips that sit in the ear canal. They affect comfort, retention, and sound (especially bass and feedback control). If you’re unsure which dome you currently use, start by matching:
Type (open/vented vs. closed vs. power)
Size (commonly multiple diameters)
Attachment (the dome must fit your specific tube end or receiver end)
Signs you should replace domes: reduced grip, irritation, whistling/feedback that wasn’t there before, or domes that look shiny, hardened, or torn.
Wax protection (filters/guards) (primarily for receiver- or thin-tube ends)
Wax protection keeps earwax and moisture from blocking the sound outlet. The correct wax filter type depends on the sound outlet design. If you’re replacing a wax filter, match the exact style you currently have—different systems look similar but are not interchangeable.
Typical symptoms of a blocked wax guard include sudden low volume, muffled sound, or intermittent audio. If changing the battery doesn’t help, wax protection is one of the first things to check.
Tubes (if your Lexon BTE uses a tube-based fitting)
If your Lexon BTE connects to the ear via tubing, you may have either:
Classic earmould tubing (thicker tube attached to an earhook and mould)
Thin tube (slimmer, lighter tube with a dome)
Tube compatibility depends on both the hearing aid side (earhook or tube connector) and the ear side (mould or dome connection). Tubes should be replaced when they turn stiff/yellow, kink, slip off, or no longer hold shape comfortably.
Earhooks (hooks) (for classic BTE tube + mould fittings)
An earhook is the curved plastic part on the hearing aid that the tube attaches to. Not every Lexon BTE variant uses the same earhook size or coupling system, so it’s best to match your existing hook visually and by model if possible. Replace earhooks if they are loose, cracked, discoloured, or if the tube no longer stays secure.
Receivers (speakers) (only if your “BTE” is actually a RITE/RIC-style setup)
Some behind-the-ear families use an external receiver (speaker) in the ear with a thin wire. If your Lexon BTE series device uses a receiver wire, receiver compatibility depends on the connector generation, length, and power level. Only choose a receiver that matches your current receiver’s markings and connection type.
How to confirm which Bernafon Lexon BTE accessory fits
Use these checks to avoid ordering the wrong part:
Check your current part first: many tubes/receivers have small markings for length or type.
Match by coupling style: earhook + thick tube (mould), thin tube + dome, or receiver wire + dome.
Look for part numbers on packaging, clinic invoice, or user documents.
Compare photos: the most reliable method for earhooks and wax protection is often visual matching.
If you’re between two sizes (especially domes), choose based on fit and seal: too small often causes feedback and slipping; too large can cause pressure or soreness.
Choosing the right dome type for your Lexon BTE setup
If your Lexon BTE series uses domes, selecting the correct dome type can noticeably change your experience:
Open domes: more natural sound and ventilation; often preferred for mild to moderate losses.
Closed/vented domes: more bass and gain with less leakage; can help reduce feedback.
Power domes: strongest seal for higher amplification needs; may feel less “open”.
If you’ve had increasing feedback or find yourself turning volume up more than usual, moving to a more occluding dome type (or a better-fitting size) can help—provided it remains comfortable.
Common problems with Lexon BTE accessories (and quick fixes)
Muffled or weak sound: replace wax protection; check tube for moisture; inspect dome for blockage.
Whistling/feedback: try a fresh dome (correct size), check tube/earhook fit, and ensure the dome is fully seated.
Intermittent sound: inspect receiver wire/tube for damage; replace if stiff, kinked, or cracked.
Discomfort: change dome size/type; ensure tube length routes comfortably without pulling.

FAQ – Bernafon Lexon BTE series accessories
Are all Bernafon Lexon BTE accessories interchangeable?
No. Compatibility depends on the exact Lexon BTE configuration (earhook + mould tubing, thin tube, or receiver wire) and the connector style. Always match the accessory to your current setup.
How often should I replace domes and wax protection?
As a rule of thumb, domes are replaced regularly (often every few weeks to months depending on wear), while wax protection is replaced when blocked or as part of routine maintenance. If sound becomes muffled, check wax protection immediately.
I have a Lexon BTE—do I have receivers?
Not necessarily. Classic BTE fittings use earhooks and tubes (no external receiver). If your device has a thin wire leading to a speaker in the ear, then you have a receiver and should replace it with the same connector, length, and power level.
What if I order the wrong tube or earhook?
Tubes and earhooks must match the coupling style and size. If you’re unsure, identify whether you have a classic tube + mould or a thin tube + dome setup, then match your existing part visually and by any markings/part numbers.
