How to tell your right aid from your left aid:

The standard fit style of the Felix-8740 hearing aid can be used on either 

ear. Once you have attached your eartip or custom earmold your hearing 

aid is set for either your right or left ear. Compare your hearing aid to the 

picture below. The sound opening on the eartip will “point” away from the 

Felix hearing aid.  
   • 

Left ear:

How to insert the Felix-8740 (standard fit style):

1. Hold the tubing behind the eartip and insert into

  your ear.

If using a custom earmold, make sure it is correctly 

positioned in your ear. The top and bottom of the 

earmold should fit securely.

2. Place the Felix behind your ear by slipping it

  over the top of your ear.

Some people prefer to first place the Felix over their 

ear and then insert the eartip. Experiment and find what

works best for you.

ATTENTION

: Confirm the eartip is attached to the tubing each time you remove it from your 

ear. If the eartip remains in your ear, seek medical assistance.

To Remove Felix-8740 (standard fit style):

Reverse steps 1 and 2 when removing your Felix hearing aid.
