Step 3: Inserting Your Hearing Aid

Your hearing aid has been programmed individually for
your right or left ear.

You will see a color marking inside the battery door. This
can help you to distinguish between the left and right
hearing aid.

Red = right
Blue = left

Step 3a: Inserting Your Hearing Aid with an Earmold

· When inserting the right earmold, hold it with the right
hand. When inserting the left earmold, hold it with the
left hand.

· Hold the earmold so that the canal part is pointing at
the ear canal entrance and the frame of the earmold is
pointing straight up

· Insert the canal part into the ear canal aiming slightly
up and back, not straight into the ear.
Then twist back slightly to press the frame of
the earmold into the hollow part of the ear.

15

USER GUIDE CPx BTE

· Run your finger down the skin just in front of your ear. If
you feel any plastic parts of the earmold, it is not
inserted correctly. Gently push the plastic back and
behind the top fold of your ear. The earmold should seal
into all folds of the ear.

· Then tuck the hearing aid over/behind your ear, making
sure that the tubing is not twisted

✼

It takes patience and practice to insert your earmold
correctly. If you have difficulty, please consult your
hearing care professional.

Step 3b: Inserting Your Hearing Aid
with a Thin Tube

· First, position the hearing aid behind your ear (A)

· Grasp the bend of the thin tube. Gently push the dome
into your ear canal until the tube rests against the side
of your head. (B)

· Push the ear grip into the bowl of your ear (C)

· If the thin tube is sticking out from your ear, insert the
dome further. If the ear grip is sticking out, it has not
been positioned correctly. Try adjusting it again.

Important Notice

If the dome is not on the tube when removed from the
ear, the dome might still be in the ear canal. Consult
your hearing care professional for further instructions.
