Phonak Bolero B-P BTE accessories & compatibility guide | Japebo
If you use a Phonak Bolero B-P BTE hearing aid and you’re unsure which parts and accessories fit, this guide is for you. Phonak behind-the-ear (BTE) models like the Bolero series often use specific combinations of earmoulds or domes, tubing and hooks, and cleaning and protection parts. The goal of this page is to help you confirm compatibility so you can choose the correct accessory the first time.
What is the Phonak Bolero B-P BTE?
Phonak Bolero B-P is a BTE (behind-the-ear) hearing aid style. In a BTE setup, the hearing aid sits behind the ear and sends sound to the ear through either:
An earmould (custom mould) connected via tubing, or
A thin tube + dome setup (depending on the fitting/configuration).
Because there are multiple fitting options, the “right” accessory depends on how your Bolero B-P is set up (earmould vs. tube/dome) and which connector parts your specific configuration uses.
How accessory compatibility works for Phonak Bolero B-P BTE
For Phonak Bolero BTE hearing aids, compatibility is usually determined by the physical connection system between the hearing aid and your ear (hook, tube, mould/dome), plus any maintenance parts required to keep sound pathways clear.
Before buying, identify these three things:
Your ear connection type: earmould+tube or thin tube+dome.
The connector/hook type: the plastic part on the hearing aid where the tube attaches (varies by setup).
Your current part’s markings or size: if you have an existing tube/dome, match the size and style.
Common accessory types used with Phonak Bolero B-P BTE
Tubes and hooks (BTE sound delivery parts)
If your Bolero B-P uses an earmould, you typically need the correct tubing (and potentially a replacement earhook). Tubing can harden or discolor over time, which can affect comfort and sound. Replacing worn tubes often improves fit and reliability.
Domes (if your Bolero B-P uses a thin-tube fitting)
Some Bolero B-P fittings use a thin tube with domes rather than a full earmould. In that case, dome choice matters for:
Comfort (size and softness)
Retention (staying securely in the ear)
Sound balance (more open vs. more closed feel)
If you’re currently using domes, the safest approach is to match the same style and size as your existing domes unless your hearing care professional advised a change.
Wax protection and cleaning (to prevent blockages)
Even with BTE hearing aids, earwax and moisture can affect the sound outlet, tubing, or dome area. Regular cleaning and timely replacement of small wear parts can help prevent:
Reduced volume or muffled sound
Intermittent sound
Whistling/feedback caused by poor fit or blockage
How to choose the right accessory for your Bolero B-P
If you’re unsure what to buy, use this quick checklist:
Check your current setup: do you have an earmould with tubing, or a thin tube with a dome?
Match what you already use: same tube type, same dome style/size, or the same mould/tube dimensions.
Look for model and part identifiers: packaging labels, printed markings on tubes, or the name used in your fitting paperwork.
If in doubt, don’t guess: choosing the wrong connector or tube style can prevent proper attachment.
When you choose parts that match your existing configuration, you reduce the risk of poor fit, discomfort, or sound leakage.
Common problems (and what accessory may fix them)
Sound is weaker or muffled
Often caused by wax/moisture blockage or worn tubing. Consider cleaning or replacing the tube/dome and checking for blockage in the sound path.
Whistling or feedback
May indicate a poor seal (dome size too small, dome not seated properly, tubing not fitting well) or blockage that changes acoustics. Ensuring the correct dome size or replacing worn parts can help.
Fit feels loose or uncomfortable
Domes can stretch or degrade over time, and tubing can stiffen. Replacing the worn component or adjusting size (when advised) can restore comfort and retention.

FAQ: Phonak Bolero B-P BTE accessories
Are all Phonak Bolero accessories compatible with Bolero B-P?
Not always. Compatibility depends on the exact Bolero model and, especially, the connection setup (earhook/tube or thin tube/domes). Match your existing parts or confirm the connector type before buying.
How do I know if I use an earmould or a dome?
An earmould is a custom piece that fills more of the outer ear and connects with tubing. A dome is a small silicone tip at the end of a thin tube that sits in the ear canal.
When should I replace tubing or domes?
Replace them when they become stiff, discolored, uncomfortable, or if sound quality drops and cleaning doesn’t help. Many users replace these parts regularly as part of routine maintenance.
What if I’m between sizes or unsure what to choose?
If you’re unsure, the safest choice is usually to match the size/style you currently wear. If you can’t confirm what you have, check old packaging or consult your hearing care professional to avoid ordering incompatible parts.
