Inserting and removing the instrument
Inserting the instrument
• The insertion process varies with
the shape of your ear canal.
A fairly straight ear canal allows
easy insertion. However, some
ear canals have sharper curves
and may require more care.
• Take the hearing instrument
between thumb and index finger
and position its ‘point’ in your ear
canal. If available the colour dot
must point upwards.
• Now slide the instrument all the
way into your ear canal with a
gentle, twisting motion. Insertion
can be easier if you gently pull
your auricle backward with your other hand.
• Move the instrument up and down with your index finger and
press gently to ensure it is positioned correctly. Opening and
closing your mouth can aid insertion. You will feel when the
instrument is inserted correctly.
• After the hearing instrument has been properly seated in the ear
canal, locate the microphone and tubing.
• Gently push the microphone into the creased area of the ear that
is located above the ear canal entrance.
• After the microphone is in place, push the tubing into place.
It is important that the microphone tube fits correctly in your ear.
If the microphone tube irritates your ear, please contact your
hearing care professional.
