Right Ear

–

Hold the APT-D with your right thumb and index finger (

fig 12

).

Figure 12

Repeat the instructions for the left ear with the device in your right hand. Figures 8 thru
11 apply, but the motions will take place on your right side.

The D-Ring should hold the APT-D body securely in place while also positioning it
correctly in the ear canal. Allow the D-Ring to hold the device in place instead of pushing
it too far down the canal. (A loose fit is preferable to a fit that causes pressure on the ear
or in the canal). When a user is first learning how to insert the APT-D into their ear, a
mirror or finding someone to assist is highly recommended.
