ZipTip Kits Available for Audiology!

Posted on January 16, 2013 by AU Bankaitis

finallyThe popular ZipTips, previously sold only by the “each”, are now available in two convenient kits.  The Sizing Kit is comprised of 12 individual tips (either all RIC or all Thin Tube) with one of each tip size (small canal and medium canal) and one of three vent sizes (no vent, small vent, and large vent) for each ear (left and right).  For example, item #702202S, the RIC ZipTip Sizing Kit (say that three times fast), includes the following:

  1. RIC ZipTip – small, no vent, left ear
  2. RIC ZipTip – small, small vent, left ear
  3. RIC ZipTip – small, large vent, left ear
  4. RIC ZipTip – small, no vent, right ear
  5. RIC ZipTip – small, small vent, right ear
  6. RIC ZipTIp – small, large vent, right ear
  7. RIC ZipTip – medium, no vent, left ear
  8. RIC ZipTip – medium, small vent, left ear
  9. RIC ZipTip – medium, large vent, left ear
  10. RIC ZipTip – medium, no vent, right ear
  11. RIC ZipTip – medium, small vent, right ear
  12. RIC ZipTip – medium, large vent, right ear

The Thin Tube ZipTip Sizing Kit (item #702201S) is also available and includes the same configuration of 12 individual tips outlined above with the exception that the packaged ZipTips are for thin tube hearing instruments rather than RIC devices.

eightyIn addition, the Professional Fitting System Kit is also available in both RIC (item #702202) and Thin Tube (item #702201) versions. Both kits are identical to the Sizing Kit; the only difference is rather than receiving a total of 12 individual ZipTips (one tip for each canal-vent-ear combination), the Professional Fitting System Kit contains 80 ZipTips.  Five (5) of each ZipTip size for both the no vent and the small vent for each ear (left and right) and canal size (small and medium) are included along with ten (10) of each ZipTip size for the larger vent for each ear and canal size.

Note, Thin Tube and RIC ZipTips are available with a medium vent, however, that particular vent size is only sold by the each and is not included in any of the kits.

    We got the samples yesterday, and they look great. Planning on ordering the sizing kits with our next order. An “in-between” solution from the non custom domes and the custom earmolds.

    Can I jump on the free sample bandwagon? I’m very interested in seeing if these will work for us. If you can send out a couple, it would be much appreciated.
    Thank you!

      I will send a few; if you don’t like them, please send back whatever you don’t use. I technically don’t have samples to give out but completley understand that if you really need to try them before you buy them, I will try and accommodate. Let me know how it goes.

    Any chance you’d send me a sample of the ZipTip, too? I’d love to see if this could be useful.

    Thanks!

    Hi AU, Happy New Year!

    Hoping you are well. Ken and I are great, just returned from a conference in Maui.

    I’m wondering, I never tried these Zip Tips before. Do they work on the Audibel/Starkey RIC’s and Open tube fittings? If so, can I get a few samples?

    Thanks,
