Signia FAST P User guide

  • Hello, I'm your chat assistant and I've reviewed the Signia Fast P Fitting Guide. This guide explains a 4 step process to set up the hearing instruments, including sound profile selection and volume adjustments. I'm ready to answer any questions you may have about the device based on the guide.
  • What should I do if the client needs more gain?
    How can I adjust the volume using the hearing instrument?
    What is the correct way to switch between sound profiles?
    What should I do before setting up this hearing aid?
