Left/right ear marking

Hearing instruments are fitted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means if you have 

two instruments then your left hearing instrument is programmed differently from your 

right. That is why it is important to distinguish between the left hearing instrument and 

the right. 

In order to easily identify whether it is left ear or right ear instrument, colour markings 

may be applied inside the battery door.

A blue dot marks the 

LEfT

 instrument.

A red dot marks the 

RIGHT

 instrument.

putting on your instrument

Place the speaker, with the ear piece attached, into your ear 

first (1) and then place the instrument behind your ear (2). 

If the instrument has a mold as ear piece, make sure it  

is positioned in the ear so it perfectly fits the ergonomics  

of the ear canal in a tight and comfortable way.

Make sure that the ear piece is placed so that the tube  

follows the contour of the skin.

If the instrument has an ear grip, place it in the ear as  

indicated in drawing 3 and 4 so it follows the contour  

of the ear.
