Your hearing inruments are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)

model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and

of 3 years or persons with a developmental age of under

3 years.

It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new

hearing inruments. With the inruments in your hand

try using the controls and note their location on the

inrument. This will make it easier for you to feel and

press the controls while wearing the hearing inruments.

If you have problems pressing the controls of your

hearing inruments while wearing them, you can

ask your Hearing Care Professional about a remote

control option.
