The life of your hearing instruments' batteries
will vary depending on length of daily use,
listening environments, and how your hearing
instruments are set by your hearing healthcare
provider. When the hearing instrument
battery goes dead, remove it immediately and
replace it with a new battery. Replacement
batteries may be purchased through your
hearing healthcare professional. When your
hearing instruments are not in use, open the
battery compartment to prevent excessive
battery drain and ventilate the instruments.
IMPORTANT: Always properly discard used
batteries. Small batteries can be harmful if
swallowed. Keep batteries out of the reach
of pets and small children. In case of
ingestion, contact your physician or call
the National Button Battery Hotline at
((202) 625-3333.

To turn your hearing instrument “on”, you
simply need to close the battery door after
inserting a battery. To turn your hearing
instrument “off ”, open the battery door
completely this will disengage the battery and
turn off the hearing instrument. If your
hearing aid is a Paragon 4, Paragon 2, Simplex
or BTE 478 you may rotate the volume control
all the way down with your fingertip until you
feel a click to turn the aid “off ” and rotate the
volume control upward to turn it “on”.
When the hearing aid is not in use, it is
recommended that you open the battery door
and remove the battery. This helps to prevent
excessive battery drain and allows for proper
ventilation of the hearing aid.

The BTE 675-2T and BTE 675-2THP hearing
instruments come standard with an “OTM”
Control. This “on/off ” switch is located on the
back of these hearing instruments. The
instrument is “off ” only when the selector is at
the “O” position.
O = Off
T = Telecoil on, microphone off
