How to Use the Hearing instrument
On/Off Function
1. When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is
turned on and programme 1 will be activated.
. To turn the instrument off, open the battery compartment. Many
individuals use their finger tips to pull it open.
. The instrument is then switched off.
4. Whenever you are not using the instrument, remember to turn it off
to stop battery consumption.
You can turn on your hearing instrument once you have placed it
behind your ear and inserted the tube in your ear. If you prefer not to
have the device ”on” while placing it behind your ear, your hearing care
professional can activate a function (SmartStart) which will delay the
instrument turning on. This function will prevent the hearing instru-
ment from squealing while the tube or mould is being inserted in the
ear. It delays the switch-on time by 10 seconds after closing the battery
compartment. A beep each second is presented during this time.
inserting the instrument (with earmould)
1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and
index finger and position its sound outlet in
your ear canal.
. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear
with a gentle, twisting movement (insertion
can be easier if you gently pull your ear up
and back with your other hand).
. 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. Place the hearing instrument behind your ear.
. Move the earmould up and down and press
gently to ensure it is positioned correctly in
the ear.
6. When the earmould and hearing instrument
are correctly positioned, and you have not
already turned it on, switch on your instru-
ment by closing the battery door.
Tip
Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
