Thank you for selecting an Interton hearing system. We are proud of our hearing products and are
confident you have chosen one of the best products available. Please familiarize yourself with the
inform ation in this guide. It c ont ains impo rtant instructions for proper use and c are, te chnical p er formance information, and other general information about your hearing system. Your hearing system
has been adjusted to your particular hearing loss. Your hearing healthcare professional will explain
these adjustments and the special features of your particular model.
Becoming Accustomed to Amplification
While purchasing a hearing system is a major step, it is only one step in a process toward more
comfortable hearing. Successfully adapting to the amplification your hearing system provides takes
time and consistent use.
You will enjoy more benefits from your Interton hearing system by taking the following actions:
• Wear the system regularly in order to get comfortable with using it.
• Begin by wearing your system for short periods of time in quiet environments.
• As you get more comfortable with the system, increase the wearing time and wear your hearing
system in multiple types of listening environments.
It may take as long as several months for your brain to get used to all the “new” sounds around you.
Following these suggestions will give your brain time to learn how to interpret amplification and
increase the benefits you get from using an Interton hearing system.

On/Off Function
The door to the battery compartment serves as the On/Off switch for your hearing instrument. When the door is fully closed, the instrument is on. To turn the instrument off, put
your fingernail under the nail grip and pull gently to open the battery door.
Tip: To reduce battery consumption, turn the instrument off when it is not in use.
Power-on delay
Power-on delay allows you to insert the instrument in your ear without the hearing instrument squealing. It delays the switch-on time by 10 seconds after closing the battery
compartment. A beep each second is presented during this time.
Stand-By Mode
Stand-by mode reduces battery consumption since only a small amount of power is
used. When in stand-by mode, the hearing instrument will not deliver sound to the ear.
If your hearing instrument has a Memory Selector, you can put the instrument into standby mode by holding down the Memory Selector for more than one second. You will hear
a series of beeps, indicating that the instrument is now in stand-by mode.
To return to functional mode, simply press the Memory Selector once.
Volume Control
The volume control for your hearing system is fully automatic. Your instruments have
been programmed to automatically vary amplification according to your needs.
Changing Memory Programs
Your hearing instrument may have a Memory Selector and, if so, your hearing healthcare
professional has most likely programmed multiple memories into your hearing instruments. Memory programs are used to store programs for listening comfort in the different listening environments you encounter most often.
Whenever the hearing instrument is turned on, Memory 1 is automatically activated.
Memories can then be selected by pushing the Memory Selector button on the instrument. Your hearing instrument may have up to 4 programs. Special tones will indicate
which memory has been activated. One tone will sound when Memory 1 is activated,
two tones will sound when Memory 2 is activated, etc. Memories are always activated in
sequence, for example, with three memories: 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 1. Consult your hearing
healthcare professional if the memory programs in your hearing instruments need to be
reconfigured.

Proper Placement in the Ear
• There is a blue indicator for left ear instruments, and a red
indicator for right ear instruments.
• Hold the instrument with your thumb and forefinger,
either on the sides (as shown) or above and below.
• Insert the instrument into your ear canal.
Do not force the instrument beyond a comfortable point.
• Switch on your hearing instrument.
Tip: Insertion can be easier if you gently pull your ear backward
with your other hand. Opening and closing your mouth while
inserting may also be helpful.
If you need further help, your hearing healthcare professional will be glad to show you
how to insert your hearing instrument correctly.
Note: If the instrument irritates your ear in any way, please contact your hearing health care professional. You should never attempt to modify the shape of the custom shell
yourself.
Removal
• Locate and grasp the removal cord
• Pull the instrument gently from the ear.
Using the Telephone While Wearing your Hearing System
Close proximity to a telephone can sometimes cause hearing instruments to make a
squealing sound, also known as feedback. To reduce the potential for this problem,
your system is equipped with a feedback management system, which greatly reduces
the chance of feedback.
Further measures to avoid feedback include positioning the
phone close to the hearing instrument, but not directly on the
instrument. If there is feedback, it may take a few seconds for
the instrument’s signal processing to adapt. This technique may
require practice.
