Your SPARO hearing instrument allows you
to use the phone as you normally do -
holding the phone up to your ear. If you
experience discomfort from the bud pressing
in your ear canal, you may need a different
size sound tube. If this occurs, contact your
hearing healthcare professional.
Push Button Multi-Memory
These hearing aids feature multiple memories
for different environmental settings and
listening situations. The push-button control
is used to switch between memories that have
been programmed for different situations.
Your hearing healthcare provider will discuss
these options with you and program the
memories accordingly.
Adaptive Directionality
™
If your hearing aid is equipped with
Adaptive Directionality
, it automatically
switches between omni and directional
microphones depending on the environment.
This feature eliminates the need to push a
button when in different listening situations,
allowing hands-free operation of your hearing
instrument. Ask your hearing healthcare
provider if
Adaptive Directionality
is a
featured option on your hearing instrument.

The most common causes of hearing
instrument repair are wax and moisture. If
you are encountering recurrent repairs, please
discuss the various wax/moisture prevention
systems and accessories with your hearing
healthcare provider.
Sound Inlet Filters
Your SPARO hearing instrument is equipped
with a filter. This filter is located at the front
and top of the instrument and prevents
moisture and debris from getting into the
hearing instrument. If the hearing instrument
seems to have lost power and changing the
battery does not correct the situation, the filter
may be blocked and needs to be changed.
Consult your hearing healthcare provider to
have the filter checked.
Extended Storage
If it is necessary to store your hearing
instruments for an extended amount of time,
follow the steps below for proper storage.
1. Remove the batteries.
2. Clean the instrument according to
instructions on page 7.
3. Place the instruments in a cool, dry place.
Either their original container or a hearing
instrument dehumidifier is recommended.
