information in this guide. It contains important instructions for proper use and care, technical perfor-
mance information, and other general information about your hearing system. Your hearing system

these adjustments and the special features of your particular model.
Becoming Accustomed to Amplification
While purchasing a hearing system is a major step, it is only one step in a process toward more
comfortable hearing. Successfully adapting to the amplification your hearing system provides takes
time and consistent use.
You will enjoy more benefits from your Interton hearing system by taking the following actions:
• Wear the system regularly in order to get comfortable with using it.
• Begin by wearing your system for short periods of time in quiet environments.
• As you get more comfortable with the system, increase the wearing time and wear your hearing
system in multiple types of listening environments.
It may take as long as several months for your brain to get used to all the “new” sounds around you.
Following these suggestions will give your brain time to learn how to interpret amplification and
increase the benefits you get from using an Interton hearing system.
