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.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing inruments while wearing them, you can
use a remote control to control your inruments.
With a dedicated smartphone app you have even
more control options.

Inserting and removing the hearing inruments
Your hearing inruments have been ne-tuned for your
right and left ear. The labeling on the hearing inruments
or the color of the hearing inrument indicates the side:
red or imprinted "R" = right ear
blue or imprinted "L" = left ear
Inserting a hearing inrument:
XCarefully push the
hearing inrument into
the ear canal. Pay special
attention to the removal
cord indicating the bottom.
XTwi it slightly until it sits
well.
Open and close
your mouth to avoid
accumulation of air in the
ear canal.
It may be helpful to insert the right hearing
inrument with the right hand and the left
hearing inrument with the left hand.
If you have problems inserting the ear piece,
use the other hand to gently pull your earlobe
downwards. This opens the ear canal and eases
insertion of the ear piece.

volume control wheel to remove the hearing
inrument. This could damage your hearing
inrument.

XIf your hearing inrument is equipped with a removal
cord, remove the hearing inrument by pulling the
removal cord towards the back of your head.

inruments: Grip the
hearing inrument
in the ear canal with
two ngers and pull it
carefully out.
Clean and dry your hearing inruments after usage.
Read more in section "Maintenance and care".

inruments automatically adju their sound.

change.
