Getting the Most Out of Your
Conversa.NT
™
Hearing Instruments
Adjusting to your new hearing instruments will take
some time. In the beginning it is important that you do
not use the hearing devices for longer than is
comfortable. Depending on your previous experience
with hearing instruments, a few hours a day may be
enough and then you can increase wearing time
gradually. Once you have become accustomed to your
hearing devices, you should wear them all day every day
since infrequent use will not permit you to adapt to your
hearing devices and enjoy their full benefits. The quicker
you get used to the everyday sounds around you, the
less you will notice that you are wearing hearing
instruments.

Hearing
Instruments On and Off
Your hearing devices have a three-position battery door
that acts as an off/on switch and that allows access to
the battery compartment.
To turn the hearing instrument on, close the battery door
fully. Note: If the start up mute is activated, your hearing
instruments will not turn on until the program button is
pushed.
To turn the hearing device off, partially open the battery
door. This position allows excess moisture to vent away
from the battery compartment.
To replace the hearing instrument battery, fully open the
battery door for access to the battery compartment.

Note: When turning your
hearing device on and off, grasp
