Welcome to a world of better hearing! We understand
that hearing loss affects one's quality of life. That is
why we are dedicated to building the highest quality
hearing instruments. Your new hearing instruments
will soon be indispensable to you and will bring new
pleasure and enjoyment to your life.

Our company was established in 1990 and is well­known internationally for offering high quality,
reliable, state-of-the-art technology. These Receiver-in­Canal (RIC) hearing instruments have been
programmed or adjusted to your individual hearing
loss to precisely fit your hearing and communication
requirements. If necessary, your hearing healthcare
provider can make further modifications to enhance
your listening experience.

A period of adjustment may be needed to become
accustomed to your new hearing instruments and the
renewed world of sounds you will experience. The
adjustment time varies for each individual and may be
as little as a couple of weeks to as long as several
months. Allow yourself time to become familiar with
those sounds you have not heard for a long time.

Before operating your hearing instruments, please read
this manual thoroughly.

proper placement

on ear

Your hearing instruments should fit
comfortably and easily over the top of your
ears. Your hearing healthcare provider will
provide instruction on proper
insertion and removal.

Step 1: To properly
wear your new hearing
instrument, hold the
base of the receiver link
with the thumb and
index finger, allowing
the receiver module to
be free to easily insert into the ear canal.

Step 2: At this point,
the instrument is
inverted from its final
position. Carefully
insert the receiver
module into the ear
canal. Make sure the
locking wire is located

inside the bowl of
your ear. It may help to pull down or
backward on your lower ear with the
opposite hand.

and index finger at the
entrance to the ear canal
and gently pull down
and back as shown in

removing the instruments from your ears, this
will turn the instruments off and conserve
battery power.
