QUICK GUIDE

GETTING STARTED WITH

WIRELESS FITTING

Over the years, hearing aid manufacturers have introduced
more cables to the clinic with the launch of new hearing aids.
For dispensers, this has become a hassle. It can be a real
challenge to remember what goes with what.

With nEARcom it is possible to fit hearing aids with wireless
technology without the use of cables.

ASSEMBLE THE nEARcom UNIT

• Remove the neck string from the NOAHlink.

• Snap the nEARcom neck loop onto NOAHlink so
the connectors engage.

For further details, see the nEARcom User Manual.*

USING nEARcom

DETECT THE HEARING AIDS

1. Insert fresh batteries in the hearing aids and turn on the hearing aids. Identify left
and right by means of the colour marking.

2. Lay the nEARcom on the table and place the hearing aids in the middle of the neck
loop.

• Place BTE hearing aids directly on the table.

• Insert ITE/CIC in the holes in the instrument fixture included with the

nEARcom, with the face plate facing up.

* If your nEARcom was supplied by another manufacturer,

you must insert a Widex Tech Module. See the nEARcom User Manual.

3. Switch on the NOAHlink with the nEARcom attached.

4. Click the Detect wireless icon

for wireless fitting in Compass.

FITTING THE HEARING AIDS

Hearing aids which have never been fitted must be assigned to the correct side in
Compass – left and right.

Detect hearing aids as follows:

1. To identify hearing aids, make sure they are placed in the middle of the nEARcom
neck loop and then use the Play buttons under Identify HA. When you select a
Play button, the relevant hearing aid plays a sound for 6 seconds and in some
models a light-emitting diode lights

3. In Compass, select whether the hearing aid is for the left or right ear.

4. Repeat the procedure if you are fitting two hearing aids.

5. Click Next to connect the hearing aids.
