Connecting a custom earmold

For improved comfort and sound quality, you may wish to obtain a custom earmold to attach to your headset. Custom earmolds are made by hearing healthcare providers (typically, audiologists and hearing instrument dispensers).A silicone impression of your ear is made and then shipped to

an earmold lab for final construction. In order for the custom earmold to fit onto your headset, you will need to provide the clear plastic tubing (included in your headset kit) to the hearing healthcare provider at the time the earmold impression is made.The tubing will be incorporated into your custom earmold and will be compatible with your headset.

Positioning the Headset

The headset's flexible arm (see photos above) can be rotated to fit either ear. To position the headset, grasp it between your thumb and index and middle fingers as shown. Position the body of the headset over the top of

the ear and the ear tip into the ear. Rotate the headset until it hooks into position over the top of your ear.Adjust the flexible arm until the ear tip is comfortably positioned in your ear.This is just one suggestion for putting it on and you may find a more convenient way of doing it.We encourage you to try this a few times until you find the most comfortable position for yourself.

Positioning Hints

Operating Modes: Universal, Directional, Bluetooth

Introduction

As soon as you turn on your headset, it functions in Universal Mode.This mode allows you to hear locally-generated sound that has been customized to suit your hearing preferences before it is sent through the headset and into your ear canal.This mode keeps you in touch with what's happening around you, allowing you to hear sound from all around you - in front, to the side, and behind you. However, if you find yourself in a challenging listening environment in which you prefer to focus on sound coming from directly in front of you - to hear a friend sitting across from you in a restaurant, for example - then you can switch the headset to Directional Mode.The third operating mode is Bluetooth Mode. In this mode, you are engaged in a phone call and have one or more phone calls actively in progress.
