Create your hearing profile
To understand your individual hearing capabilities, your
Bragi Ears will assess your right and left hearing profile.
A voice assisstant will guide you through every step
of the process. This will take about 5 minutes. Once
completed, your Bragi Ears automatically adapt to your
hearing and enhance it.
To start, insert both earpieces into your ears.

The first month and beyond
Things you need to know
The first few weeks with your Bragi Ears will be a time
of adaptation. Your voice and the world around you will
sound different. Likely, you will hear details you might
not have heard for a long time. Things like doors closing,
keys jingling or the sounds of traffic can suddenly sound
very loud.*
Enjoy hearing!
After some time, your brain will focus on the important
sounds like speech and blend out other, less important
ones like e.g. the swishing of a plastic bag. This
adaptation usually happens within two to four weeks.
*
Keep the volume of your Bragi Ears low during the first days of use:
Your brain needs some time to adjust to those new inputs.

Listening Scenes
Speech clarity in every situation
Comfort Tones
Relax or concentrate
Throughout the day, you will likely use your Bragi Ears in
many different situations and environments such as in
the subway, talking to a friend or at a nice restaurant.
Your Bragi Ears will assist in these everyday situations
and adjust the background noise automatically.
In addition to the default EVERY DAY Listening Scene,
two other scenes are available: TV and NOISY. These
are specifically designed to enhance clarity while in loud
surroundings or while enjoying television. You can select
Listening Scenes within the Hearing Menu on the right
earpiece. See also page 16.

Your Bragi Ears come with a variety of Comfort Tones
to stimulate your mind and body. They will help you
to relax or concentrate and focus better throughout
your day. You can control Comfort Tones on the left
earpiece. You can find more information on how to
control Comfort Tones on page 16.

Product Care
How to clean Your Bragi Ears
Daily care
The speakers and microphones of your Bragi Ears are
protected by a mesh. This prevents earwax and water
from entering the device. To maintain its high sound
quality and performance, we recommend cleaning both
earpieces daily to avoid wax or other debris plugging up
the mesh over time.
Make cleaning a daily habit: Check your Bragi Ears in the morning
before inserting them into your ears. If you see wax or debris, let it
dry and then gently brush it off with the provided cleaning tool.
22
Long-term care
To keep your ears clean, we recommend replacing the
Silicone / Foam Tips every 2-3 months. You can easily
order replacements in your preferred size online at
www.bragi.com/shop
bragi.com/shop
Waterproof IPX7: Bragi Ears are waterproof up to 1 meter, so you
don’t have to worry when you forgot removing them before taking a
shower! Nevertheless, do not clean them under running water. Doing
so may cause damage to the mesh. Also, be sure to avoid using any
harsh substances or detergents when cleaning the devices.
