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.

· 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.

Step 4: Changing the Volume

Your hearing aids are programmed to be at a
comfortable volume level for your hearing loss. They are
designed to automatically adjust to changes in the sound
environment.

If you have purchased an optional remote control or
SoundGate accessory, you can use it to make small
volume changes to get a natural and comfortable sound.

Please ask your hearing care professional for further
information on optional accessories.

✼

Your hearing aid automatically returns to a preset
loudness level when it starts, the battery is low, or
when the program is changed. If you find that the
volume is not adequate, your hearing care professional
may need to adjust your hearing aid settings.
