How to insert your In-the-Ear instruments
Hold your hearing instrument between thumb and index finger and carefully push the instrument in the ear canal. Now bring it into the correct position by turning it slightly.
You may find it helpful to pull your external ear slightly upwards or to the rear.You may want to push the instrument very gently with your index finger. Once inserted, you should feel that the hearing instrument is correctly placed. Now insert the other instrument in the same way.
Tip:
Practice inserting your hearing instrument correctly.
One easy way to practice is to sit down at a table, place a mirror in front of you and prop your elbows on the table, so that you can move your hands steadily and safely.This will help you to stay comfortable and relaxed while you practice.

How to remove the instruments from your ear
Pull on your ear lobe to loosen the instrument in your auditory canal. You can now remove the instrument, using the thumb and index finger of your other hand. You can use the tip of your finger to push a small instrument out from the auditory canal. If you can open the battery compartment with your fingernail while
the hearing instrument is still in your ear, use the battery compartment to pull the instrument out from the ear.
Even smaller hearing instruments (CICs) can be removed by pulling the small removal cord while slightly pressing to the side on the ear canal.
Switching the instrument on/off
There are 2 ways to switch your instrument ON/OFF.
First way.
The battery compartment serves as an ON / OFF switch. If you want to switch the instrument on, insert the battery and simply close the battery compartment - the instrument is now ready for use.
If you want to switch the instrument off, open the battery compartment all the way. To make sure that the battery is not being used unnecessarily, remove the battery from the instrument.
Second way is by using the program button.
If the hearing instrument has already been operated it can be switched off by pressing the program button for at least 2 sec. To switch it on again press the programm button for at least 2 sec. The instrument diverts to programm “1”.
Every operation is acknowledged by beeps tones.
See chapter “Hearing instruments with program button”.
