Inserting and removing the instrument
(standard earmould)
Inserting the instrument
• With the battery door opened in the off position take the earmould between
thumb and index finger and position its ‘point’ in your ear canal. Now, slide the
earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.
• Insertion can be easier if you gently pull your ear backwards with your other
hand.
• Turn the top-part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it fits
behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.
• Place the hearing instrument behind your ear. Move the earmould up and
down and press gently to ensure it is positioned correctly in the ear. Opening
and closing your mouth can ease insertion. You will feel when the earmould
is positioned correctly.
• When correctly positioned switch on your instrument by closing the battery
door.
• You can also insert the hearing instrument while in the on position. However,
doing this might result in some feedback (whistling).
Removing your instrument
• Switch off the instrument by shifting the battery door to the ‘off’ position.
• Lift the hearing instrument from behind the ear. For a moment, let it hang beside your ear.
• Using your thumb and index finger, gently pull the earmould (not the instrument or the tubing) loose from
the ear.
• Remove the earmould completely by gently twisting it.
