Inserting Hearing Aid in Your Ear

This hearing aid does not have a power switch. The battery holder also functions as power switch.
Power/OFF: Open the battery holder. Power/ON: Close the battery holder firmly.
1. Open the battery holder slightly, so that the hearing aid is set to the OFF condition.
2. Hold the hearing aid so that the pull-out wire is at the rear, lightly pull the auricle back and insert the hearing aid straight into the ear.

HOW TO USE YOUR FIRST HEARING AID

Any hearing aid cannot return level of your hearing to normal or
halt further hearing deterioration, but proper use of your hearing aid can help you hear what is going on around you and let you get more enjoyment of life.
If this is your first hearing aid, you - like most new users - will prob-
ably be surprised at the loudness of the sounds, and after using it for a short while, you may even feel that it is too noisy. The following three tips are important in overcoming your concerns.
1) Read this manual and become familiar with the hearing aid's various mechanisms and how to use them correctly.
2) First, use your hearing aid in a quiet place and listen to quiet sounds and give yourself sufficient time to get accustomed to the sound of your hearing aid.
3) If any physical problems develop, consult your doctor.

FOR KEEPING YOUR HEARING AID LONGER

Always keep the hearing aid clean.
Clean the hearing aid with dry cloth periodically and also remove earwax plugged in the sound outlet using eyebrush or tooth
-
brush.
Do not expose the hearing aid to the heat from stoves, etc. Also,
avoid leaving it in places with high humidity.
If the hearing aid is dropped in water, wipe with dry cloth and ask
the dispenser for check.
Do not pick the microphone with nail, pin, etc., because this may
damage the microphone.
Do not disassemble or attempt any repairs by yourself. Ask the
dispenser for repair.

Turn-on precaution

If the hearing aid is turned on again immediately after turning it off, there may be no sound, but this is not a defect. In such a case, turn the power off (open battery holder) and wait 10 seconds. Then turn the power on again (close battery holder).

Removing Hearing Aid

Carefully pull the wire to remove the hearing aid. When acoustic feedback occurs, open the battery holder (power off). Acoustic feedback may stop. Then pull the wire first sideways and then up.

Adjusting the Controls

This hearing aid is a digital type. Any adjustments must be done at the dealer. For details, please contact the dealer.

Cleaning your Hearing Aid

We recommend that you clean your hearing aid twice a week (more or less needed) to remove any earwax that may build up as a result of regular use. Too much earwax build up can prevent your hearing aid from working. Hold the hearing aid as the il
­lustration, brush off the earwax of the sound outlet.
