Moxi with custom shells
1. Hold the custom shell between your thumb and index finger. The opening should be pointing in towards your ear canal with the hearing aid resting upwards over the top of your ear.
2. Carefully insert the custom shell into your ear. The shell should fit into your ear snugly and comfortably.
3. Place the hearing aid over the top of your ear.
Putting your hearing aids on your ears
Your hearing aids may be color-coded with a small dot on the battery door: red = right ear; blue = left ear.
Moxi with tubes
1. Hold the tube where it attaches to the dome and gently push the dome into your ear canal. The tube should lie flush against your head and not stick out.
2. Place the hearing aid over the top of your ear.
3. Place the retention piece in your ear so it rests at the bottom of the opening of your ear canal.

Note: When turning your hearing aid on and off while it is on the ear, grasp the top and bottom of the hearing aid with your index finger and thumb. Use the index finger of your opposite hand to open and close the battery door.
Turning your hearing aids on and off
Your hearing aids have a three-position battery door that acts as an on/off switch and that allows access to the battery compartment.
1. On: Close the battery door fully.
Note: It may take 5 seconds before the hearing aids turn on. Your hearing healthcare provider can additionally increase the start up delay if required.
2. Off: Partially open the battery door.
3. Open: Fully open the battery door to access and change the battery.

Replacing the battery
1. Gently swing out the battery door with your fingernail.
2. Grasp the battery with your thumb and index finger and remove.
3. Insert the new battery into the battery compartment with the plus (+) sign on the battery facing the same way as the plus (+) sign on the edge of the battery door. This will ensure that the battery door closes properly.
Note: If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the hearing aid will not turn on.
4. Close the battery door.
Battery information
To replace the battery, fully open the battery door for access to the battery compartment.
Low battery warning
Two long beeps indicate the hearing aid battery is low. After the low battery warning, you may experience some reduction in sound quality. This is normal and can be remedied by inserting fresh batteries into the hearing aids.
If you are not able to hear the low battery warning, your hearing healthcare professional can change the pitch or loudness of the low battery warning. If you prefer, it can be turned off entirely.
Your hearing aids are designed to generate a low battery warning every 30 minutes until you change the batteries, but depending on the condition of the batteries, they may die before another low battery warning occurs. Therefore, it is recommended that the batteries are replaced as soon as possible once you hear the low battery warning.

Tips for wearing hearing aids for the first time
1. Start in a quiet room at home first to get used to the new sound quality. Sounds like the ticking of a clock, the humming of the computer, the beep of the microwave or the rustling of clothes or paper may seem loud to you at first, because you have not been hearing them properly for a long time.
2. Read aloud to yourself and learn to correct the volume of your own voice when you are wearing the hearing aids.
3. Talk to different people and learn how to distinguish between different sound patterns again.
4. It will take some time before you are completely used to your hearing aids and can fully enjoy the benefits.
5. Wear your hearing aids for as many hours a day as you can, and for a little longer each day.
Caring for batteries
Always discard batteries in a safe and environmentally friendly way.
To prolong battery life, remember to turn your hearing aids off when not in use.
Remove the batteries and keep the battery door open while hearing aids are not in use. This will allow internal moisture to evaporate.

Operating instructions
Push button
Your hearing aids are equipped with a push button which can be
set for switching between programs, adjusting your volume, or adjusting comfort-clarity control (available on Moxi 20 and 12 only).
Program control
If you have an active push button program control, each time you push the button, you will move to a new program.
6. Make notes at the back of this booklet, write down difficult situations and describe what any unpleasant noises were like. This information will help your hearing healthcare professional to fine-tune the devices better for you.
7. Involve your family and friends in this familiarization period. For example, ask someone to set the television to a comfortable volume.
8. When you are beginning to get used to wearing the hearing aids, wear them in more difficult listening environments such as the office, at parties or in restaurants. This can be difficult even for people who can hear normally. Give yourself time to regain your ability to hear in these difficult situations.
9. Make your hearing aids part of your everyday life and be patient with yourself until you have retrained yourself to interpret the sounds correctly.
