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
ask your Hearing Care Professional about a remote
control option.

Components and names

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.

Inserting and removing the hearing inruments
Your hearing inruments have been ne-tuned for your
right and left ear. The color of the labeling on the hearing
inruments indicates the side:
● red labeling = right ear
● black or blue labeling = left ear
Inserting a hearing inrument:
XCarefully push the hearing
inrument into the
ear canal.
XTwi it slightly until it sits
well.
Open and close
your mouth to avoid
accumulation of air in the
ear canal.

inrument with the right hand and the left
hearing inrument with the left hand.

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.

inruments automatically adju their sound.

programs which allow you to change the sound, if

change.
