You can get the tubes out by carefully drilling them out (slow dremel tool). The tubes and the PVC-e glue are both softer than the acrylic, (I suppose that's what yours are made of?--clear, plastic-looking?) Why do you have to glue them in? Maybe you need to get larger diameter tubes, they should fit snuggly by themselves. I replace tubes for free for my patients--is Gloria too far away for a quick stop by her office? Usually the professional can do a better job, because all the angles and lengths can be adjusted more precisely when they are on the patient's head, making for greater comfort.

I am using it to hold plastic tubes in the molds for my hearing aids, and need to replace tubes. The molds are about $135, and fragile, so I can't go digging madly with blunt instruments... thanks les bartlett -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
