Practical Solutions to Everyday Problems
Congratulations on choosing your new Indigo™BTE
(Behind-the-Ear) hearing instruments. For over 40 years,
Unitron Hearing has been committed to making life
better for people with hearing loss. This means a
commitment to developing high-quality hearing
solutions that incorporate special features to solve the
everyday problems and concerns you have with hearing
loss and hearing devices.
Indigo is a premium hearing instrument that delivers
superior sound quality, performance, and extraordinary
results. Indigo’s automatic program reads your listening
environment and automatically determines a sound
destination that is most effective for optimal listening as
your listening needs change throughout the day. Three
additional manual programs give you added flexibility
to meet your particular listening needs. Indigo’s
sophisticated adaptive features offer you the latest in
digital technology so your hearing devices do the
adapting without manual adjustments or fiddling
required by you.

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 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.

bottom of the opening of your ear canal.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for your other ear if you wear two
hearing devices.

Turning Your Indigo™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 device on, close the battery door
fully. Note: If the start up delay is activated, your hearing
devices will not turn on for 10-15 seconds after closing
the battery door.
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 device battery, fully open the
battery door for access to the battery compartment.
Note: When turning your hearing device on and
off, grasp the top and bottom of the device with
your index finger and thumb. Use your thumb to
open and close the battery door. If you are
wearing Moda hearing devices, use your index
finger to open and close the battery door.
