Turning the hearing instrument on or off
To turn the hearing instrument on, insert a battery into the
hearing instrument and completely close the door.
To turn the hearing instrument off, open the battery door.
Siemens hearing instruments may also be programmed
to allow you to turn them on and off using the program
button. Refer to the Operation section (page 25) for
further information.
Inserting and removing
Hold the instrument between your thumb and index finger.
With the face of the instrument toward the outside, place the
canal portion into your ear. Gently work the instrument into
its proper position by slightly twisting until it is firmly seated.
Lightly press inward for a secure and comfortable fit (fig. 4).
If you have difficulty inserting the hearing instrument, try
pulling the ear up and back for an easier insertion.
To remove the hearing instrument, push lightly on the back
of the ear to help loosen it. Then, using your index finger,
carefully pull the hearing instrument from your ear.
Inserting and removing–CIC hearing instrument
Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and index
finger. With the face of the hearing instrument toward the
outside, paying special attention to the removal strand to
indicate the bottom, place the hearing instrument in your
ear canal. Gently work it into its proper position by slightly
twisting until it is firmly seated.
For CICs, the instrument should sit deep in your ear canal.
Do not force it deeper than it will comfortably fit.
