7.4 Insert/Remove hearing aid
For comfort, always turn off your hearing aids before you insert or remove
them.
7.4.1 Insert earmould
1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and index finger and position
its sound outlet in your ear canal.
2. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting
movement.
3. Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so
that it tucks behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.
4. Move the earmould up and down and gently press to place it correctly
in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
5. Make sure the hearing aid sits firmly behind the ear.
By experimenting, you may discover an easier method. With proper insertion,
hearing aids should fit snugly but comfortably.
i
NOTE: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your op-
posite hand during insertion.
i
CAUTION : Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing aid, ear-
moulds, or tubing yourself.
7.4.2 Remove earmould
1. Lift the hearing aid from behind the ear. For a moment, let it hang beside your ear.
2. Using your thumb and index finger, gently pull the earmould (not the hearing aid or the tubing)
loose from the ear.
3. Remove the earmould completely by gently twisting it.
