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 a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)
model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and
connected to the inrument via a receiver cable. The

A power cell (lithium-ion rechargeable battery) is
permanently built into your hearing inrument. This
enables easy charging with our inductive charger.
The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological
features and synchronization between your two hearing
inruments.
Your hearing inruments feature Bluetooth® low energy*
technology allowing for easy data exchange with your
smartphone, and for seamless audio reaming with your
