Getting the Most Out of Your Indigo
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 instruments 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 everyday since frequent use will help you 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.

Turning Your Indigo
Hearing Instruments
On and Off
Your Indigo hearing instruments may have a volume control that also serves as an on/off switch. To turn your hearing instruments on, rotate the volume control towards your nose. Note: If the start up delay is
activated, your hearing instruments will not turn on for 10-15 seconds after rotating the volume control towards your nose.
To turn your hearing instruments off, rotate the volume control away from your nose.
For hearing instruments without a volume control, close the battery door to turn your hearing instruments on. Open the battery door or remove the battery to turn your hearing instruments off.

Inserting and Removing ITE and CIC Hearing Instruments
ITE and CIC hearing instruments are color-coded red for the right ear and blue for the left ear. The color is indicated either on the shell or on a label on the hearing device.
To insert ITEs and CICs:
1. Hold the hearing device between your thumb and index finger with the battery door away from your ear.
2. If your hearing device is a CIC, insert by holding the hearing device with the removal handle at the bottom.
3. Gently insert the canal portion of the hearing device into your ear using your index finger to push back and tuck the hearing device completely into place.
To remove ITEs and CICs:
1. If your hearing device is a CIC, gently pull on the removal handle. To remove ITE hearing devices, grasp the device with your thumb and index finger.
2. Move your jaw up and down or apply pressure to the back of your ear to help loosen the device.
Note: Never use the volume control or the battery door to remove your hearing devices.
