Step 2: Determine and set

the sound prole

Overview

Every hearing

inrument has a

choice of sound

proles. These

are pre-congured

setups of the

hearing inrument, for typical hearing losses.

You need the client’s audiogram to determine the

suitable sound prole. With the rocker switch, you set the

correct sound prole.

Note that the rocker switch has a double function: A

short press makes the hearing inrument louder or

softer. A long press changes the sound prole.

12

Inruction with example

➊Select the sound prole table which corresponds

to the hearing inrument type you have chosen in

"Step 1: Select the hearing inrument type".

➋Mark the row for the dB-value at 0.5 kHz.

➌Mark the column for the dB-value at 2 kHz.

➍The recommended sound prole is shown where

➋ and ➌ intersect.

To set the determined sound prole in the hearing

inruments:

XUse a ethoclip to hear the

syem sounds better.

XInsert a battery and wait for the artup-melody to

ensure that the inrument is turned on.

15

X

To switch to the next sound prole, hold down the top

of the rocker switch and release it after a minimum of

10 seconds.

On release, the sound prole is changed and a

conrmation tone is played.

Note that the factory setting is sound prole 1.

XTo switch to the previous sound prole, proceed as

described above, but hold down the bottom of the

rocker switch.

If you turn oﬀ the hearing inrument immediately

after changing the sound prole, the sound prole

change may not be saved. Wait 5 seconds before

turning the hearing inrument oﬀ.

16

Step 3: Select ear piece and

tube length

Overview

Select the ear piece,

cut the tube and

assemble the hearing

inrument.

Inruction

XSelect the ear piece that suits the client’s ear canal

size and assemble it with adapter and tube.

Start with the bigger ear piece.

17

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

XMake sure your client always wears the tube

with an ear piece.

XMake sure that the ear piece is completely

attached.

XIf you provide cuom-made

ear pieces, we recommend using

them with sound prole 4 for Fun P

and with sound proles 2, 3 or 4 for

Fun SP.

XTurn oﬀ the hearing inrument and place the hearing

inrument on the client’s ear.

18

XInsert the ear piece in the client's ear and measure the

correct tube length. Mark it with a pen before cutting.

At a safe diance to the client, cut the tube. Attach the

tube to the hearing inrument.

XInsert the hearing inrument in the client’s ear and

turn it on.

Step 4: Te

Overview

Try diﬀerent volume levels or, if necessary,

change the sound prole.

Note that the rocker switch has a double

function: A short press makes the hearing

inrument louder or softer. A long press

changes the sound prole.

Inruction

The target is to ensure that volume and sound of the

hearing inrument is to the requirements of the client.

● Explain client how to adju the volume with the rocker

switch.

● Speak to the client (normal loudness) and let the client

increase the inruments' volume to a comfortable

level.

20

If the client needs more gain:

XBrieﬂy press the top of the rocker

switch to increase the volume.

Repeat as necessary.

XIf the client ill requires more

gain, switch to the next sound

prole: Hold down the top of the

rocker switch and release it after a

minimum of 10 seconds. Refer to

section "Set the sound prole".

If the highe sound prole is ill too soft:

XSelect Fun SP.

XOr, if you have already selected Fun SP, the Fun

series of hearing inruments may not be suitable .
