Oticon Ruby BTE series accessories & compatibility guide | Japebo
If you’re looking for Oticon Ruby BTE series accessories, the most important step is confirming compatibility. “BTE” (Behind-The-Ear) Ruby models can use different fittings and consumables depending on the exact version and the set-up your hearing care professional chose (for example: thin tube vs earmould, and which speaker/coupling system is fitted). This guide helps you identify what you have, understand what typically needs replacing, and choose the right accessory for your Oticon Ruby BTE hearing aids.
What “Oticon Ruby BTE series” means (and why it matters for accessories)
Oticon Ruby is a hearing aid family that includes behind-the-ear styles. In practice, accessories and spare parts are not chosen by the “Ruby” name alone—they’re chosen by the physical connection to your ear and sound outlet, such as:
Tube system (thin tube to a dome, or tube to an earmould)
Earmould/hook set-up (standard earhook and tubing, often used with custom moulds)
Dome style and size (open/vented/power options vary by fitting)
Wax protection at the ear end (depends on whether you use domes or a mould system)
If you’re unsure which Ruby BTE configuration you have, you can usually find clues on the device, your fitting notes, or by checking how the sound travels from the hearing aid to your ear (thin tube + dome vs thicker tube + mould).

Domes are the small silicone tips that sit in the ear canal. If your Ruby BTE is fitted with a dome-based system, you’ll typically choose between more open or more closed styles depending on comfort, feedback (whistling), and needed amplification.
Replace when: the dome is discoloured, stiff, loose, uncomfortable, or you get more feedback than usual.
Wax protection (ear end)
Wax build-up is one of the most common reasons for reduced sound or intermittent sound. Depending on your Ruby BTE set-up, wax protection may be handled by the ear-piece (dome system) or by the earmould/tubing.
Replace/clean when: sound becomes weak, muffled, or cuts in and out—especially if the battery is new.
Tubes (thin tubes or earmould tubing)
If your Ruby BTE uses tubing, it c
