To insert the hearing instrument into your ear:
1. Hold the instrument
with your thumb and
index finger, either on
the sides (as shown)
or above and below.
2. Place the sound outlet
portion into your ear
canal.
3. Insert the instrument
into your ear canal
with a gentle twisting
movement.
Note: This process can be made easier if you use
the other hand to pull back gently on your ear while
sliding the instrument into place.
By experimenting, you may find a method that is
easier for you. When properly inserted, the instru-
ment should fit comfortably and securely in your ear.
It is important that the custom shell fits correctly in
your ear. If the hearing instrument irritates your ear in
any way and prevents you from wearing your hearing
instrument, please contact your hearing healthcare
professional to have the custom shell modified. You
should never attempt to modify the shape of the cus-
tom shell yourself.
