Removing your instrument
• Using your thumb and index finger
gently pull the hearing instrument
(not the battery door) from your
ear. CIC instruments and MC
instruments often have a thin
plastic pullout cord. Use this.
Never pull the battery door.
• Removal may be easier if you
open and close your mouth while
simultaneously pulling your auricle backward with your other hand.
Take some time at home to practice how to insert and remove your
instrument. Work conveniently positioning your elbows on a table
and maybe using a mirror.
