Your hearing inruments

This user guide describes optional features that

your hearing inruments may or may not have.

Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the

features that are valid for your hearing inruments.

Inrument type

Your hearing inruments are cuomized models that have

been individually manufactured based on the anatomy of

your ears. They are worn directly in the ear, either in the

bowl of the ear or deep inside the ear canal. They are not

intended for children under the age of 3 years or persons

with a developmental age of under 3 years.

Getting to know your hearing inruments

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.

6

If you have problems pressing the controls of your

hearing inruments while wearing them, you can

ask your Hearing Care Professional whether a

remote control or a smartphone app to control your

inruments is available.

Components and names

This user guide describes several types of hearing

inruments. Use the following pictures to identify the

type of hearing inrument that you use.

Note that the push button, volume control wheel and

vent are individually positioned on your hearing inrument

to be suit your ear. The appearance of your hearing

inruments may therefore dier from that of those pictured.
