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 BTE (Behind-The-Ear)

models. A tube delivers the sound from the hearing

inrument into the ear. The inruments 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.

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 option is available.

Inserting the battery:

XIf the battery has a protective lm, remove it

only when you are ready to use the battery.

XInsert the battery with the "+" symbol

facing up (refer to the picture).

XCarefully close the battery compartment. If you feel

resiance, the battery is not inserted correctly.

into your ears without experiencing unpleasant feedback

whiling.

Inserting a hearing inrument:

XHold the tube close to the ear piece.

XCarefully push the ear piece

into the ear canal ➊.
